When you express "Thank You" in the English Language, you are told "Welcome." In the Yoruba language/culture, when you are greeted "E se" (to someone older than you) or "O se" (for your contemporary), in an expresssion of gratitude for a good deed or gift, the giver says "Ko to pe" (more or less, "it's nothing" ![]() ![]() |

nothing wrong with ko tope or the other one. ko tope's english equivalent is dont mention. it's just simple courtesy, so what's the big deal. |
