I will try Inko ti agbalaga man ree lati ijoko omode ole ree (while standing* but I don't know how to write it). Basically what I was trying to say was- what an elderly person sees while sitting, a child cannot see it while standing. I know I just murdered the Yoruba language. Correction is allowed 1 Like 1 Share |

Contact17: nkan ti agbalagba mon ri lati ijoko omode oolee ri to ba na ro, note: i am only correcting your writing, because i dont think ive heard yorubas saying this. I know I just murdered the Yoruba language. yeah, RIP yoruba, sun ree o[i.e sleep well(yoruba)] |

lexiconkabir: What does the bolded mean? I wanted to add that anyone can correct me so correction is allowed Lol I will be honest the one I heard was - what elderly sees while sitting, a child won't see it even when standing on an Iroko tree but because this is a lot more complicated so I shortened it. yeah, RIP yoruba, sun ree o[i.e sleep well(yoruba)] |

Contact17: ti mo ba na ro, it means, i was sitting initially so that process of standing up is called "na ro"{read as nor row} Lol I will be honest the one I heard was - what elderly sees while sitting, a child won't see it even when standing on an Iroko tree but because this is a lot more complicated so I shortened it. Iroko tree is igi iroko, iroko is already yoruba, all you need to is translate the word tree. try to translate this(my late grandma used to say this); ile ni oota n joko de idi. |

lexiconkabir:The house is where the enemy waits ....I don't get the bolded |
Re: Eyin Omo Yoruba... Oya Come Inside by Nobody: 10:22am On Aug 27, 2016 |
Contact17: i knew you'll translate oota as enemy, well see this; ile = house oota = stool(that the buttocks sits on) joko = sit idi = buttocks let me give you the interpretation then you'll try translating again, what the proverb is saying is, for instance no matter how long you live, inevitably there is a grave destined for you, so one day you must enter that grave, basically the grave has always been waiting for you. so try again.... |
