Question 2
(a) Wasula iri nawa ne a Hausa ta fuskar tsayi?
(b) Bayyana matsayin lebba a furucin /e/ da /u/
Observation
The question above is on phonology, candidates were required to identify the types of vowel we have in Hausa and explain the position of the lips in articulating /e/ and /u/ sounds as follows:
(a) Akwai wasula iri biyu a Hausa ta fuskar tsayi.
- Gajerun wasula - /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/
- Dogayen wasula - /aa/, /ee/, /ii/, /oo/, /uu/
(b) A lokacin furucin /e/, lebba suna bajewa ne, sannan kuma suna yi
da’ira yayin furucin /u/.
Few candidates attempted the question and their performance was fair.
