Surinamese word for the blending of a whole sentence into one (1) word. The sentence is actually a question.

"Fa a libi e waka?" --> Fa waka?
Literally : "How is life walking (going)?"

Meaning : "How are you doing?"

This is "wakamang" language, the slang language in Surinamese language from the streets of Suriname. Youngsters like to pick up words like these and use these words from the streets amongst one another.

"Fawaka?" is used among peers and never used by a youngster to an adult. That would be considered rude and very impolite.

An adult using the word "Fawaka?" to a youngster places himself in the sub culture of the youngster and would do so to get closer in terms of trust etc.
Boy 1: "Fawaka?"
Boy 2: "Allright!" (would actually respond in surinamese)
Boy 2: "Fawaka?"
Boy 1: "Allright!" (would actually respond in surinamese)

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
