How do you say in Twi Asante?

The Twi word for "say" is ka.

So, "to say" would be se ka (literally "that say") and "to say something" would be ka biribi.

Here are some examples:

* Meka sɛ megye. (I say that I am happy.)

* Wɔka sɛ ɛyɛ biribi papa. (They say that it is a good thing.)

* Ɔka sɛ ɔbɛba. (He says that he will come.)

Please note: Twi is a tonal language, meaning that the tone of the word affects its meaning. The pronunciation of "ka" is different depending on its position in a sentence.
