StarFlux: O_o can you translate that word for word?

Eze Promoe:
I actually got the word from one of Kas' song.

StarFlux: Ok, so now I wrote a little story, can you please correct! Also, don't judge the content, hehe, because it doesn't make too much sense.

Ọjọ́ kan ní igbó

- Mo rí ọba kìnìún n[/b]ìgbà tí nrìn nígbó. Mo kí i. Kìnìún sọ[b]wipe: kí'lo dé o nsáko ní igbo mi? Mo dá kìnìún lóhùn: òfòfó nsọ pé àjẹ́ igbó nsọ ẹ dìbàjẹ́.

Kìnìún: Ràrà, ò bẹ́ẹ̀ko. O yà mi lẹ́nu pé o nfẹ̀sun lọ mi.

E[/b]Mi: Kò buru, màá lọ bayìí,[b] sùgbọ́n mo yòó sọ́ ẹ - I dont get what you mean here. Ẹ mọ̀ pé mo ní ibọn mi. (yes, gun )

Kìnìún: Ọ̀dẹ̀ oo! N ò tilẹ̀ mọ̀ pé o nbọ̀, níbo ni àjẹ́ rẹ wà?

E[/b]Mi: "Ẹ́rìn", a má rí.

Lẹ́hin náà mo lọ s'íbi ọba[b] ejó - if you mean snake, then the signs on the 'ejo' are wrong.

Ọba ejó: "sss", nígbà wo ni o dé?

E[/b]Mi:[b] Má seré - I also do not get you here. Do you mean 'be playing'?. Níbo ni àjẹ́ wà?

Ọba ejó: "ss", fún mi ewúrẹ́ kan, sì màá sọ fún.

Also, I used "ẹ" because that's the honorific I was taught, and I'm pretty sure it's correct in standard Yoruba. Also, the "s" with dot won't show for some reason, so I changed it to "s". I also hope that it can be of help to Eze.

Hmm, wipe? So you can't say just sọ (the lion said, not said that).

sùgbọ́n mo yòó sọ́ ẹ - it's okay, I will go now, but I will definitely watch you.

I forgot an a here, so it is máa. Or it is à á?

Havilah93:

A maa...

StarFlux: Hmm, ok, I have seen both versions before.

Thank you so much for everything

Eze Promoe: * maje
* boju boju
* egbelore
* mini jojo
* owuro lawa
* wahala kunle
* sabere dowo
* agogo ayo
* morounto dun
* bebe nto
* kolebaje
* lola

StarFlux: Ok, so let me get this igba ti (when) things right.

When it's a question, I use nigba wo?
correct
When it's a statement I use igba ti?
correct
When it's something might happen I use nigba ti... ba?
And everywhere else I use nigba ti?
yes

Very confusing!

*
maje - may mean 'dont eat' or when saying 'God forbid' (Olorun maje) but i feel the word is not complete
* boju boju - hide & seek game
* egbelore - your group/mates are your friends
* mini jojo - well, depending on the context in which it is being used, it may mean peaceful, enjoyment, fine/beautiful
* owuro lawa - We're in the morning
* wahala kunle - too much problems
* sabere dowo - (a proverb) turn something small/minute into wealth/success
* agogo ayo - the sound of joy
* morounto dun - I've found something sweet/nice/preety
* bebe nto - If you mean (bebe nlo), then it means the good work continues/is still going on
* kolebaje - It cannot spoil
* lola - tomorrow (not Lola which is a name)

naijababe: ^ Are you sure about sabere dowo?

Idowuogbo: ^Yearrit! Eyin omo odua paraku

jhydebaba: Pls translate : BEBEDI ALHAJA

Idowuogbo:
Allaja's waistline!

Jyhdon, ire ti fi Kondo olopa ja ileke Iyawo Allaji ni?

fredoooooo: @ havilah , oga mi se kin wa bere yoruba class , mide mide eko lemi gbo o ...

StarFlux: Nigba wo ni o nlo?
When did you go?

Mo mo igba ti Ayo lo s'oja.
I knew whem Ayo went to the market

Nigba ti mo pada bo, o ni binu.
This sentence is not well constructed. You may mean 'when i come back/return, dont be annoyed'

Maa jo nigba ti iyawo mi ba de nibi mi.
I will dance when my wife comes to me

StarFlux:
Nigba ti mo pada bo, o ni binu - hmm, what I meant was: When I came back, he was angry. Is it not correct? Or is it nbinu? I'm confused about n and ni.

And nigba wo ni o nlo - when are you going? Should the ni here be dropped?

Ilekokonit:

When I came back, he was angry. Should be :- Nigba ti mo pada de (or pada bo), nse (or nise) lon binu

When are you going? Should be :- Nigba wo lon lo. You are right the ni should be dropped.

StarFlux: Nigba ti mo pada bo, o ni binu - hmm, what I meant was: When I came back, he was angry. Is it not correct? Or is it nbinu? I'm confused about n and ni.

And nigba wo ni o nlo - when are you going? Should the ni here be dropped?

Havilah93:

when i came back, he was angry - nigba ti mo de, o n binu.....correct.


Nigba wo ni o n lo?

You dont need to drop the ni here.

I will still come up with the detailed explanation for you later.

zpakln: how about this..... when i came back, he was angry - Nigba ti mo pada de, oun binu

When are you going? - Nigba wo ni oun lo?
