Re: Nigerian Baby Names by jimnyo: 8:09am On Jan 09, 2007 |
does anybody know of a guide to pronunciation for yoruban names? or could someone who's actually yoruban answer this for me? for example, i love the name kayin. is it KYE-en (rhyme with "ryan", or KAY-en? are vowels prounounced like in spanish (a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, o = oh, u =ooh) or more like english (a = ay, e = ee, i= eye, o = oh, u = you)? or something else entirely? thanks for the help! |
Re: Nigerian Baby Names by stranger12: 1:24pm On Jan 09, 2007 |
its more like spanish. one good thing, it doesnt change like english were "e" could have two different sounds there are seven vowels "a" "e" "e" "i" "o" "o" "u" the keyboard I'm using cant render the sylables properly, the second "e" has a dot under it, the second "o" also has a dont under it |
Re: Nigerian Baby Names by jimnyo: 7:27pm On Jan 09, 2007 |
thank you. so how does one correctly pronounce the name "kayin" in yoruba? |
Re: Nigerian Baby Names by stranger12: 11:54pm On Jan 09, 2007 |
I've never heard the name "Kayin" maybe thats the abbreviated form well, if its spelt "kayin" then it would be pronounced with the "a" as in bag "i" as in eat but please note that Yoruba is a tonal language "ka" could mean count, bend or pluck depending on the tone. |
Re: Nigerian Baby Names by jimnyo: 9:00pm On Jan 10, 2007 |
thanks for the info. it's supposed to mean "long-awaited child" or "celebrated child". does that help with the intonations? |
Re: Nigerian Baby Names by omogenaija(f): 5:13am On Jan 14, 2007 |
