Useful phrases in Wolof


one never know when it might be useful.
perhaps before asking for mosquito netting in 
a small hotel in Casamance,
the one I stayed at last time
where the owner was Italian
I think his name was Mario
and I didn't agree with the rave
reviews of his pizza either.
I never did have problems with mosquitos
there even though I dutifully took my
malaria pills
it's here that I get mosquito bites but 
no one would understand me if I said
yoo yi, nu ngi may matt.
