Assessment: JAMB UTME - Igbo - 2025 Subject: Igbo

Question 1 Report

Tugharia asusų Bekee a n'Igbo: "The child is sleeping."

 

Answer Details

The question asks for the Igbo translation of the English sentence "The child is sleeping." To translate correctly, each component must be rendered accurately:

  • The child = Nwa ahu (that child / the child)
  • is sleeping = na-ehi ura (is sleeping). The verb ihi ura means "to sleep" in Igbo. The na- prefix marks the present continuous tense, showing the action is in progress.

The correct translation is therefore Nwa ahu na-ehi ura.

The other options translate differently:

  • Nwa ahu na-anu mmiri = The child is drinking water
  • Nwa ahu na-eri nri = The child is eating food
  • Nwa ahu na-asa ahu = The child is bathing

Only na-ehi ura corresponds to "is sleeping."
