my brother writes me an email from senegal

"Wolof is also the name of the native poeple of senegal. The word banana comes from Wolof. My favorite Wolof fact is the greeting. In senegal poeple must greet each other before talking. Greetings can last up to ten minutes of question-anwer where boith people know the question and the answer that comes next. My favorite and most intresting greeting qnd most common: Question Nanga def ? (how are you ?) Answer : Mangi fi rekk ( I am HERE ONLY).

I really like that."
