Abstract
This article is about translating French into Igbo, and more in particular, about the translation of verbs. The first thing to do is to investigate whether verbs exist in Igbo and to find out whether French verbs are translatable in Igbo. Secondly, some linguistic obstacles are to be observed. Some of those obstacles are morphology, morpho-semantics, lexicology, syntax, semantics, etc.
