Ileke-IdI:lol, in yagba, your 'e' turns to 'hay'. Eg. Hay ra --> Shouting out to a group of children to come your way. But its not really pronounced 'ra', like it has a 'gh' in between. I try hard to pronounce that to people, but the best reply they give is 'ra' or 'ga'. |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by Nobody: 10:18pm On Nov 28, 2011 |
Emmyk: Interesting. I'm even finding it hard to pronounce the "gh" between the "ra" right now. Is it like the "GB" pronunciation? Give me an example. |

Do other Yoruba dialects understand the "Lagos dialect" without being exposed to it? |

Lowe lowe la n lu ilu agidigbo, ologbon lo ma jo, awon omoran lo wa mo. Translation pls. |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by Nobody: 12:01am On Nov 29, 2011 |
Wallie: Which one is Lagos dialect? As an Ekiti woman, I'd understand Ondo dialect more than I would an Ijebu dialect. Infact, I dont even understand Ijebu and some part of Ondo dialect. Even Ekiti has diff dialects. My mom's Ekiti dialect is diff from my dad's. ![]() So I really dont know how to precisely answer your question. |

atakiti:Proverbially proverbially, that is how we beat the agidigbo drum. Only the wise dance to it, and only the learned know the beats. |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by Nobody: 12:46am On Nov 29, 2011 |
atakiti: The Talking Drum is sounded in proverbs, only the wise could follow its tune and the learned its meaning |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by Emmyk(m): 12:51am On Nov 29, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI:try to mimick those that dont know how to pronounce 'Ra' correctly, eg. Mofe ra rice. Do you understand me now? |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by Nobody: 6:08am On Nov 29, 2011 |
Emmyk: No I really dont. I've noticed that MOST Lagosians (Indigenes of Lagos) can't pronounce their "r", is it the same thing with "ra"? |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by Nobody: 6:21am On Nov 29, 2011 |
What dialect is spoken in 'urban' Lagos? Is it a real historical dialect? |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by Emmyk(m): 7:04am On Nov 29, 2011 |
Ileke-IdI:Bingo! Thats it. Thats the way we say 'Come' in Yagba |

"isiro loko dido" = sexual intimacy requires mathematical accuracy |

toyinakomolafe: My dear, did you check the post I was responding to or are you simply in a hurry to type? Let me correct your own english, give me a second. |
Re: Yoruba Dialects by tpiaT: 11:50pm On May 16, 2015 |
toyinakomolafe: Bawo is standard yoruba. Ba o is Ekiti dialect. Thus bawo ni is ba o ni in Ekiti. Se wo ya jeun, se wo fe jeun, se wa jeun (short wa, not long one), are what you should have translated. Stop being in a hurry to type, who hired you sef? |
