Thanks in advance and

But in this case, how is it conveyed that she wasn't Uriah's wife when she gave birth to Dafidi? Is aya the term for "wife" alone, or for sort of "ex-wife"?

How do you say all this in Yoruba:

Hello - Bawo ni? We dont have a yoruba word for "hello", but usually we greet each other, depending on the time of day. Like, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night. Or we Ekiti people say "in okun" or "in ora o", which is our hello. Yoruba ppl also greet based on weather, condition, what the other person is currently doing, etc. i.e If the other person is working, we say "eku ise", which roughly means, "we acknowledge that you're working, great work".

How are you? - Bawo ni?
I love you - Mo ni ife e. or mo feran e gidigan
Goodnight - odaaro [means, "till we meet tomorrow morning"]
Thank you - O seun but if you're talking to an elder, you say e seun
What are you doing? - Ki l'o n se? to an elder, it's ki l'e n se?
Nigerian roots - Omo Naijiriya [/b]or [b]Ibile Naijiriya
Rest in peace - suu re
Only God can judge me - Olorun nikan lo le dami l'ejo or Olorun nikan lo le fun mi l'esi
Merry Christmas - Eku odun keresimesi
Happy New Year -Eku odun tuntun
