Ekaro ma. Ek'abo ma. Ekule ma. Eku ise ma. Eka san ma. Ek'ale ma. etc Translation: Good morning ma. Welcome back ma. Good work or just a way to greet when she's working. Good afternoon ma. Good evening ma. etc My mom is very strict about that. If we don't greet, she's like "Oma baje o, so oole ki'yan k'aro?" Translation "You're disrespectful, so you can't greet your elders good morning?" And if you do, you gotta prostate. Well, I still do |

You don't try to speak yoruba to my mom, that means you really don't want to talk to her. Atleast mix yoruba with English. She loves her language like mad |

my yoruba's not fluent (i admit readily) she'll either wait for me to construct it in my head b4 i say it or sit close to the bathroom engli-yoruba's where its at when it comes to speaking jare |

If she knows you're yoruba, then you want to hear "Who are you cooking grammar for, do I look like oyinbo to you?" To me when she's pissed she says " Shior, you've come here to forget yor language?? Speak some Yoruba or remove yourself from my face". Thats why I can't ask her for some translations sometimes |
