What Does The Word ''itutu'' Mean In Yoruba? by adeibi: 8:53pm On Mar 08, 2012 |
Hello, Please is there any word like itutu in Yoruba language? Yesterday one of my white friends asked me if I knew the meaning of itutu. Imagine how it sounded with a white accent. Anyway, I just told him that it does not exist in my language and that if he meant "tutu", it means cold or if he meant "etutu", it means ritual or sacrifice. However, to my surprise he insisted that it's itutu and that he knows what he's saying. He even spelled it for me to prove how sure he was. I was kinda embarrassed, we argued over it for some time. Then to convince me, he sent me these links below and I'm quite shocked. Does the word really exist or someone somewhere just came up with it? Wikipedia is sometimes wrong and the white guy's video in the YouTube link my friend sent me aint convincing me either. So that's why I'm asking. Your replies will be much appreciated. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af3ZG47oT7I&list=UU6nSFpj9HTCZ5t-N3Rm3-HA&index=5&feature=plcp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itutu |

Tutu means cold. Iwa tutu means calmness or coolness. I guess under rare circumstances would you call it "Itutu". Like the fact that he mentioned the Yoruba anyway. One other thing: You are one fine lady, Fraulein Adeibi ![]() |

the general meaning of etutu is atonement or more specifically, appeasement. the traditional meaning is a sacrifice to appease some deities. you opened this thread three times though, and in addition, what was the context of your discussion when the word came up? |
