Ni ina jin sauti daga rediyo a falo.

Ni means I/me. In many everyday sentences it’s optional because the subject is already shown in ina (I am / I…).

• Ina jin sauti daga rediyo a falo. = normal, neutral
• Ni ina jin sauti… = adds emphasis/contrast, like “Me, I can hear…” or “As for me…”

Ina is a common present/imperfective form meaning “I am / I (habitually, currently) …” before a verb. It’s often used for actions in progress or general present situations.
So ina jin… is literally “I am hearing…” (natural English: “I can hear / I’m hearing”).

You’d typically use the perfective:

• Na ji sauti daga rediyo a falo. = I heard a sound from the radio in the living room.

For “I was hearing / I could hear (at that time)” you’d usually build a past context, e.g.:

• Ina jin sauti… can also be used in a narrative past if the time is already set (“Yesterday… I was hearing…”), depending on style/region.

Jin covers several related meanings: hear, feel, sense, understand (depending on context). In this sentence it’s hear.
Hausa doesn’t need an extra word like English “listen to” here—jin can take a direct object:

• ina jin sauti = I hear a sound

If you specifically mean listen (pay attention), Hausa may use context or verbs like saurara (listen attentively).

Here sa is not in jin sauti—it’s the start of sauti. The words are:

• jin = hearing
• sauti = sound

So it’s jin sauti (“hear sound”), not jin sa.

Sauti means sound/noise. Hausa often leaves “a/the” to context:

• ina jin sauti… can be “I hear a sound…” or “I hear sound…” depending on context.

Plural is possible (commonly sautuka), but you usually don’t need plural unless you mean distinct sounds:

• ina jin sautuka… = I hear sounds…

Daga means from and marks the source:

• sauti daga rediyo = sound from the radio

A very common alternative is to say “the radio’s sound” using a linking form:

• ina jin sautin rediyo a falo = I hear the sound of the radio in the living room
  (sautin is sauti + -n linking to the next noun.)

Yes, rediyo is a common loanword meaning radio. Pronunciation varies slightly by speaker, but it’s typically something like reh-DEE-yo (with Hausa vowel clarity).

a is the common location marker meaning in/at/on depending on context.
falo commonly refers to a sitting room/living room/lounge (sometimes broadly “hall”).
So a falo = in the living room / in the sitting room.
You can also say a cikin falo for a more explicit “inside the living room.”

It follows a very typical Hausa pattern:

• (optional emphasis subject) Ni
• subject/imperfective marker ina
• verb jin
• object sauti
• source phrase daga rediyo
• location phrase a falo

So: Subject → (tense/aspect) → Verb → Object → extra details (from…, in…).
