ashia

All purpose Cameroonian pidgin English word meaning 'I am sorry for you' or 'sympathies'. Can be used in virtually any situation. If you are particularly sorry you can say 'plenty ashia'.

Bob - Why are you looking so sad?
Clifford - My Mum died yesterday.
Bob - Ashia.

Clifford (on seeing someone with particularly bad dress sense) - Ashia
