acounter2: Some of the spellings are different and have accents to differentiate the pronounciation. For example oogun (sweat) |

[quote author=Oguieke post=77903524]probably the language lacks words and therefore uses one word to mean many things....[/quo head is not correct at all |

acounter2: Some of these are wrong, mostly when you put the yoruba alphabetical marks (ami) Medicine/Charm is...Oogun not Ogun. Its ami is (do do do) Sweat is...Oogun not Ogun. Its ami is (do mi do) Climb is O gun...not ogun. Its ami is (mi do mi) Long is o gun....not ogun. Its ami is (mi do) ******Others are correct and what differentiate each is its ami War/Ogun...Its ami is (re re) State/Ogun...Its ami is (do do) God or Iron/Ogun....its ami is (do mi) Twenty/Inheritance/Ogun....Its ami is (re mi) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check this out too...Same word (Igba) with 4 different meaning Igba with ami (re re)…meaning 200 Igba with ami (do do)….meaning time Igba with ami (do mi)…Garden egg Igba with ami (re do)…A rope used for climbing palm tree 5 Likes |

Re: Ogun: The Only Yoruba Word, With 10 Meanings by EMIOMOADEOYE: 4:20pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
acounter2: Point of Corrections Ogun:- (medicine) Correct Ogun:- (charm) Not different from the Ogun above........this meaning only comes to life contextually Ogun:- (war) Correct Ogun:- (State) This does not qualify as a Yoruba word. Ogun:- (god of iron) Can be conceded Ogun:- (twenty) Correct Ogun:- (sweat) Wrong. The correct spelling is Oogun - the two Os have different diacritics Ogun:- (property) Wrong.......What you mean is inheritance Ogun:- (climb) Ridiculous - This is not a word. Climb in Yoruba is "gun". When you introduce O to gun for climb, it becomes a statement, not a word. You are trying to speak in third person here and so it should be "O guun". Notice there are 2 u's. They each have a corresponding diacritic Ogun:- (long) Same as above. Long is "gun". What you are trying to say "O gun" (it is long) which like above is a statement, not a word. |

Yoruba words and language is all about the context you are using the language. |

TGM2015:Are you sure of the origin of the name of the state? Ogun (do do) also interprets as END, (nobody has mentioned that as another word that spells same). I believe Ogun state originated from the word End. It is the end state before you exit Nigeria from the SW part. |

@ acounter2 How you dey? Some of these translations are not single words and some are spelt differently. The main difference is in pronunciation. 1. Ògùn............the SW Nigerian state 2. Oògun..........Medicine / Charm 3. Ogun.............War 4. Ògún.............God of Iron 5. Ó gún-un.......He/She stabbed him/her/it 6. Ó gùn-ún.......He/She climbed (or rode) 7. Ó gùn............It is long 8. Ogún.............Twenty (synonym okòó) 9. Ogún.............Inheritance (same as above, different context) 10. Òógùn..........Sweat So, my friends, it ain't one word. Only two instances use the same word. I wish people will really learn Yoruba. Olamide and his goons are actually destroying the language, not propagating it. 4 Likes |

you try, but their are ones that are not the way you put it. there is stress in Yoruba language, which gives different meanings and different sounds to how a word is pronounce. |
