I'm interested in understanding Yoruba and I need a teacher here. All you just have to do is translate anything I ask of you to Yoruba. If you're interested; please mention me. 1 Like |

Heartlessbanker: If you are here in Lagos just mingle with Yoruba speaking guys, you will pick up slowly. That's how many non Yorubas do here. Eko lele yi 1 Like |

Coder2Client:I don't mean to generalise bro, but most Yoruba "around" me are really tribalistic. Referring to one as "omo IBO" even when I'm not an IBO boy. I don't like that, so I try to stay away from them. Note I said "most" and not "all" Yorubas. |

Heartlessbanker:Don't blame us for that, blame them. We are not what you call us, in fact, we are the most tolerating people. Just get close to the good among us and you will give testimony. |

Heartlessbanker:I just have a little observation for you. Writing in Yoruba is also very important, as your writing could easily be misinterpreted. You should realize that Yoruba language is tonic in nature, that is, the tone of words gives meaning. For example "O rerin" might mean "it is laughing" while "Oo rerin" might mean "you're not laughing". Up there, you wrote " Kpada", that is clearly not allowed in Yoruba language! You, normally, do not follow consonants back-to-back. K and P can not follow each other, therefore you have to remove the K and write "pada" which mean "turn/come back". Your third word is "shubu" to mean "fall down". The problem here is the H following S! The way Yoruba will write "sh" is to put a dot under the S and the sound is actually not like "sh"! Your last translation "E ti e di no", I believe it is just a typo error, as it supposed to be " E ti e di ni". |

Coder2Client:yeah I like Yoruba's though, especially their women. I think one fits well among them if you understand their language. That's why I'm trying to learn it. |
Re: Who's Going To Be My Yoruba Teacher? by Nobody: 9:14am On Sep 23, 2020 |
sinkhole:Yeah it was a typo error. So what "pada" means come back, what does "pada wa" mean then? |
Re: Who's Going To Be My Yoruba Teacher? by Nobody: 9:15am On Sep 23, 2020 |
ymstar:thats what I am nah. |
Re: Who's Going To Be My Yoruba Teacher? by sinkhole: 10:53am On Sep 23, 2020 |
Heartlessbanker:"come back", the "wa" is for emphasis but it sounds incomplete though, it could have rather be "pada wa sibi" "come back here" |

Heartlessbanker:sorry, I had to edit what you just quoted! |
Re: Who's Going To Be My Yoruba Teacher? by sinkhole: 11:06am On Sep 23, 2020 |
Heartlessbanker:Inu mi dun = I am happy Ma s'epe fun e = I will course you! Semi loore = give me gift (but its much more deeper than that!) Ile = House Mo lo si ile = I went to the house (if you put insert "n" in between Mo and lo, then you have a continuous phrasal verb, i.e., I am going to the house) |
