How do you say are my teacher in twi?

"Are my teacher" is a bit ambiguous in English. Depending on what you want to say, here are some Twi translations:

If you want to say "Is this my teacher?":

* Ɛyɛ me kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ? (Ɛyɛ - is, me - my, kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ - teacher)

If you want to say "This is my teacher":

* Ɔyɛ me kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ (Ɔyɛ - is, me - my, kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ - teacher)

If you want to say "My teacher is...":

* Me kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ yɛ... (Me - my, kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ - teacher, yɛ - is)

You would then follow "yɛ" with the specific description of your teacher. For example:

* Me kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ yɛ ɔbarima. (My teacher is a man.)

* Me kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ yɛ ɔbaa. (My teacher is a woman.)

* Me kyerɛkyerɛfoɔ yɛ ɔbrafoɔ. (My teacher is kind.)

Remember that Twi is a tonal language, so the pronunciation of these words is very important. It's best to learn from a native speaker or use a language learning tool that can help you with pronunciation.
