Igbo word

ụka

In Igbo, ụka means church / Sunday. Hear it spoken by a native Igbo speaker, and read it in real sentences.

What ụka means

ụka Time and culture
church / SundayChurch, and by extension the church day: 'ụbọchị ụka' = Sunday, and 'izu ụka' = the seven-day week, the week of church. Following 'mkparịta' the same spelling carries a different sense, talk or conversation.

How to say it

Say it as ụ́-kà. 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.
