Wɔ ho te sɛn? Mewɔ asɛmmisa. In Twi, when we think about the idea of “nyansa,” does this convey a lot of wisdom? In other words, if I were to try to conceptualize this in mdw ntr, would this idea be represented with the plural strokes? How do Akan people think about and conceptualize “nyansa” in Twi?
