In the Ghanaian community and bringing it down to the Ewes, names are specifically given for different reasons. The main reason why names among this tribe are never taken for granted is that the names normally have a direct impact on the bearers. Names are given for a reason since they reflect or have an influence on the people to whom they are given. All names have meanings they represent and Ghanaian names and specifically Ewe names are not an exception.  You will be enlightened on some of these Ewe names and their various meanings.

Learn to say "God has done it" in Twi

I remember very well how enthused I was to learn Twi even before getting the chance to live among people who speak Twi daily. Learning a new language should be fun and interesting and more interesting is if there is a strong desire to learn. Like other languages, we start by trying our best to speak the basics of the language.  
One benefit of learning a new language is how it improves memory performance. But getting the chance to live among Twi natives however didn't make it so easy for me to learn as I still continue to learn. One thing that makes this difficult is the fear of been laughed at because you will sound weird while trying to speak.

Twi Language is noted to be cool and  so it isn't hard to learn either. To say 'Thank you' in Twi is 'Medaase'. 
God in Twi is 'Onyankopon' or 'Nyame'.

Now when expression for what God has done, mostly we say 'God has done it'

How then do you say 'God has done it'? 
This is "Nyame ay3 bi" or very often the expression is 'Nyame na ay3'.
'Nyame ay3 bi' is pronounced as (nya mi a y3 be) and then 'Nyame na ay3' also sounds like ( nya mi naa a y3).

But at times the natives do pronounce it in a way a learner might not be so familiar with from the onset.
