I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for making my experience here at nairaland.com such a pleasant, stimulating, enlightening one! I have learned a great deal from so many about so much.

I also wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

While I'm here, let me ask this:

In French, it's Joyeux Noel.

In Spanish, it's Feliz Navidad!

In Italian, it's Buon Natale!


How do you say Merry Christmas in the various Nigerian languages?

E ku keresimesi

E ku Oodun oh

Oodun 2007 a yabo fun gbogbo wa( @topic that Yoruba Lang)


saying Merry Xmas and a properous 2007 to y'all

Merry Xmas Nairaland

Thank you all for your bounteous blessings of this season!

ikamefa, was your entire post in Yoruba? Would you mind breaking it down line by line for those of us not versed in the language?

E ku keresimesi == Merry Xmas


E ku Oodun oh==Happy celebration



Oodun 2007 a yabo fun gbogbo wa==  We are all going to have a Prosperous2007

Excellent!! Thank you very much!

Now, if I may ask yet another question (at the risk of sounding greedy), might you provide us with an approximate phonetic pronunciation?

Spread the true meaning and spirit of Christmas among your near and dear ones with these warm and beautiful season.

that a tall order man!  you would need to learn the three major  yoruba intonations( thats the key to learning yoruba pronounciations)

the tree intonations are:

\ = do  pronounced  doh(low sounding)

_ = re pronunced  reh

/ = mi pronounded me  (high sounding) _{( help me any one am i right) cant remember this things)}      


would love to show  the intonation marks on what i said in youruba but my puter cant support that!
