A Thread For New Yorubas (or Yorubas Who Dont Know Much About Their Culture) by itstpia8: 4:06pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
are you relatively new to the Yoruba culture, as in, maybe you don't know much about it even though you are Yoruba? Ask any relevant question here, on what you want to know. |

Howmanage:Simply answer: daadaa ni - all is well. Then you can ask back: iwo nko? - and how are you? Redoil:Well, it's commonly used, but it's more of a West African thing and not necessarily restricted to Yorubas only. 2 Likes |

What is cassava in yoruba? Also can ou explain the tonal accents ie ami used in the yoruba written work |
Re: A Thread For New Yorubas (or Yorubas Who Dont Know Much About Their Culture) by StarFlux: 10:08am On Mar 29, 2015 |
Howmanage:Cassava is "ẹ̀gẹ́". You have three basic tones: Low tone: è (grave accent). This one is pronounced with a low pitch. Mid tone: e (unmarked). I guess you could call this the standard tone of speech in general. High tone: é (acute accent). This one is pronounced with a high pitch. In addition you have falling and rising tones which are written as follows: Falling: éè (grave + acute). Pronounced with a falling pitch. Rising: èé (acute + grave). Pronounced with a rising pitch.
