In a conversation when someone says “I ni ce” (thank you) a common response is “I ni baaraji”. What does that mean? Am I spelling it right? Is it related to work (baara), is there something special to the suffix “ji”?
Thanks!

I ni ce, Serge!
The word you are looking for is baraji (without any tones marked) and you’ll find it in the dictionary here 
It’s not related to “work” and ji isn’t its own special suffix; it is a full word in its own right!
It means ‘divine compensation’ and is frequently used in the expression I ni baraji as a way to say what amounts in many contexts to ‘Thank you very much!’

I ni baraji for this explanation!
