Could Someone Translate Yoruba To English The Following? Thanks by houseoga: 9:03pm On Jun 10, 2013
Ara wa ni nu aso

How does "nu" affect the meaning of this phrase?
I have found "ninu" is sometimes used which I think means "into". Does using ninu change the meaning?


Thanks

am not a yoruba but i've bin learning it for some time & i think i can give it a try.
"Ninu'' here means 'inside' so if you translate directly ur statement wld mean ''body dey inside cloth''
Generally meaning ''i'm fine'' (in response to 'how're you?')

Actually that makes sense given the context.
