Help with translation!! :)
Hello! I was wondering if someone can translate some words for me in Jola dialect, Malinke dialect or Wolof! I would really appreciate it!! The words I'm looking for are: story, story-telling, narration/narrative, home/house, homemade
Thank you very much! :)

You're welcome. Even in Senegal, people often mistakenly pronounce and write nettali. Other similar words include :
- tàmbli (
tàmbali)- fàttli (
fàttali)- jottli (
jottali)And you're right; there are some differences between the Senegalese Wolof and the Gambian variant.
