Kisa yon 'tetsanko' ye?

Tètsankò → (literally tèt-san-kò head-without-body)

This expression is said of people that are undernourished, look skinny, and are unable to gain healthy weight.
Even though they may eat a lot, it seems that their mouths are not connected to their body. Thus, tètsankò.
Ask me anything
