Dealing with a flat bicycle tyre in Wolof

Me: Salaam Alaikum. 
Bike man: Malaikum salaam. Nanga def?
Me: Maan fi. Nanga def?
Bike man: Jammarek. Loo buga?
Me: Pompel tutti.
Bike man: Fi?
Me: Waaw, fi. 
Bike man: Bah na. 
Me: Jerejef.

Simple as that. 

(Hello, how are you? I'm here, how are you? I am in peace - what do you want? Pump it a little. Here? Yes here. It's good. Thanks.)
