Binis/Edos are not in the bible. Maybe you meant our western and eastern neighbours who are from the middle east(some so claim).

I'm very sure its hard to confuse bini with any other name, so the poster knows what she's talking about no doubt.

If her man told her all that while saying he's bini, then kindly help her out,

I think she meant that she found something like this:

i intend prayers not bible, sorry.

but i'd like to enter the grammar, can someone give me little help, writing me bini-english word by word, tell me when verbs are used and the order of frases.i saw on nairaland ''Ohame'', but i say ''i'm''+''hungry''
and than verb 'have' is not in bini my boy told me, so i'm asking how i replace in that.
SUBJECT and when use it, if not always when not (ex YOU on dis Forum posted IYE ME=My mum ERHA ME=My father
someone i know tell me it's wrong. Iye mwen is wright! so......
ADVERBS do u have any, and u use it when ..at the end or beginnin in the sentences(phrases)? and in the question u turn the SUBJECT AND THE VERBS TOO??(ex is he crazy)



make me the literal construction of bini phrases with exaxtly bini order in english . pls pls pls
Start with simple ones.
sleepy: Elo Nega Me
thirsty: Ame(Armen) ghun me(meh)
hungry: Ohame
tired: Egbe woh meh
sumthing is entertaining: Or nay mi wo rien rien <==so entartaining is all that??
beautiful nice: Or meh uan SOOOOOOOOO the sky is beautiful: okhun IS? or meh uan
sun: Ovwen
moon:
sky: Okhun!
home: Uwa or owa house
friends: Oko mehn and 1 friend? male or female?
neighbors:
car: Motor
fly: or Tin or=meaning
fat: or kpuno
thin: or woh kaka

translate me : 1.look at the sky 2.i saw my friends, 3.i see my friends 4.i'll se my friends and i'm goin to. 5you are fat, she is fat, he is fat. 6i go home, I'M AT HOME(DOIN MY THINGS) but do it like this
xx(i) Bleep(saw) x(My)xx(friend) OR I DON'T COMPREHEND HOW MAKE OTHER PHRASES ON MY OWN.
becouse ---tired: Egbe woh meh, so je suis fatigué é :i am egbe woh meh?
so when i say: fine, my dear, you re in trouble is: esa, Noyemwen me, ovbeen oba re edo unu?

add all u want<3

BLEP= X X X

but also the pronunciation is hard a loooot for me
they say they dont understand, i read like english

Sleepy- Ovbe(sleep) gbe (beats) mwen(me).
Le ga mwen -around me.
Dizzy- ehe hia le ga mwen(every thing is going around me).Does not equate SLEEPY.
Thirsty- Ohan amen gbe mwen
Amen khon mwe.
Eho mwe kaka.
I am hungry for water
I want water
My throat is parched
Hungry- Ohanmwen gbe mwen
Hunger beats me.


Will be back to sort out the complexities in dealing with natural needs in Edo language.

ok thanks i got it....

can u also tell me what 'owo khan 'me' means? and is edo or yoruba

NathiNkosi: can u also tell me what 'owo khan 'me' means? and is edo or yoruba

He is in love! That is Edo/Bini for " my wife" You are not doing badly at all regarding Edo language.
How about saying back to him " Odo mwen, n'odomwen". I promise you unforgettable nights after!

Double

Ighi ghe ore iso (ukhun) ina beghe avbe ose mwen.
When I looked up (ukhun) at the sky(iso)I saw my friends (ose- orsay).
AVBE before a noun turns it to plural and even if already plural.
OKHUO-WOMAN
IKHUO- WOMEN
AVBE IKHUO-WOMEN
OSE does not have a plural of its own unless with AVBE.
ORE before ISO above is because the Edos believe that everything has a heart or a focal point.
OREDO.This shows the heart that lies within EDO.
Just saying in Edo "ighi ghe iso" gives the listener a vast focusless sky(it is complicated!) impression.

I will see my friends

I gha beghe avbe osemwen

GHA is for future .

I gha be owa (I will build a house)

I gha de imoto (I will buy a car ,auto vehicle)

I am going to( intention)
I Gha ...then the verb(same as WILL discussed above)

I am going to (direction)
I rhie Eko (I am going to Lagos)

You are fat!
U kpolo! (negative)
U wa kpolo (good fat)

He,she,it (no gender pronoun in Edo language) Some animals have gender nouns.

O kpolo (he,she,it) no gender
O wa kpolo.

You are fat ( ukpolo) will not really make sense in Edo language because the person you say such to is in your presence. There must be a word at the end to soften the harshness.
Ukpolo,nia.
Ukpolo,sha.
Ukpolo,kherre. And so on.

Ukpolo. The tone is also important. Could be endearing. Could be in awe.

Ukpolo gbe- you are too fat. Extreme.
Okpolo gbe- he,she,it is too fat.

Okpolo could be said of someone in ones presence but the statement, though about the fat person,is most likely said to a third party or the wind.

Go home.
Gha rrie owa .

I am at home.
Irre owa.

THANK YOU GUYS, i apreciated i start to progress, i hope that the pronunciation is correct!!!
where the accents go? in europe we have a lot of close pronounce, so
they told me they dont understand again.
Like i dont understand always the pidgin english

orho gha se efe
owo khan mwen

From the above,you are either Edo or someone else wrote that. No one learns a new language via proverbs. Not even all native speakers are versed in it.

i even dont understand english well so i translate but i guess it's nice what u wrote that way.
i put some words after i perceived the meaning but while for english i have online help, for bini i have only forum, and friends, but friends are not my dictionary 24per hours and not all know how to write, as they talk i cant understand

so i'm askin you if what i put has a meaning or not

Evbin ogbon ero gbe otiti--a new thing excites. otiti-is? excitement?
i know evbeen oba re edo unu 2
need difference between evbin and evbeen
between unu and uhun
then how 2 means ''you know then you are in trouble'' oba is not KING?
re?
Agbon(world) vban(be??) rhe(re??)
KE??
udu re? heart is udu or re

See your mouth. Anyway sha,those of us from progressive traditional homes and OTO EGHODO born do not see it your way. Na di ones way dey form or born outside.
Let me give you a hint about Edo girls.
If in the process of having an amorous affair with an Edo girl,ask if she is from an OTO EGHODO home. If yes,run.
You see those girls that can fight naked in broad daylight at Ring Road and other public places without shame,ninety-nine percent of them are from OTO EGHODO.

I respectfully disagree because you seem to be giving "Oteghodo" which is a form of a courtyard a negative connotation.

If anything, those who grew up in Oteghodo lived a compound with some social structure and understanding, and they are generally from a family that is privileged because you cannot create an Oteghodo out of a tiny compound.

I think those who grew up in a passage "face me, I face you" house is what you are looking for.

I think I know what is Oto Eghodo: It like a big compound where you have a lot of families living together with shrines on every corner,old grandma and grandpa. These families usually belong to Ogboni confraternity and they will have the signs on the entrance door.

Dude,Benin people don't have problem with displaying their fetish stuff. I have a lot of stories about Benin. But I love Benin girls...I get along with them very easily. Do you know Okhoro very well ?

Odenigbo,do you not think that the claim of flagrant display of Ogboni symbol in front of oto eghodo houses is a bit wild?
Okhoro is not my neck of the woods. The now dilapidated State Library was about the closest I got to the area.
Only problem with Bini girls is if they love you you are in trouble. Na allbody and everything. She fit even pay and buy you.
