ọnụ

In Igbo, ọnụ means mouth / price / cost. Hear it spoken by a native Igbo speaker, and read it in real sentences.

What ọnụ means

ọnụ Market and body
mouth / price / costThe mouth, and by extension what a thing is quoted at: 'ọnụ ahịa' = price; 'Ọ dị ọnụ' = it is expensive.

How to say it

Say it as ọ́-nụ̄. Keep every written vowel clear, including dotted vowels, without adding an English stress pattern.

Igbo is a tonal language, so the pitch of a word carries meaning. The spelling above keeps the marks the app teaches, and the recording is a native speaker, not a machine voice.
