StarFlux: In this sentence "si" is an adverb, it show the degree of something and it equivalent is "still" or "more". Ṣùgbọ́n a ń gbìyànjú kọ́. Mo fẹ́ràn èdè Yorùbá, mo sì fẹ́ kọ́ Yorùbá sí. Although you are still correct if you did not put "si" in it example: mo fe ko yoruba si. I want to learn yoruba more. Compare with the first sentence: mo (sì) fẹ́ kọ́ Yorùbá sí. I (still) want to learn yoruba more. Mo ni ero pe aroye mi ye o fini fini? |

How to greet in Yorùbá! The universal greeting prefix in Yorùbá is kú. What you do is add this prefix to what greeting you want to express. Good morning - (E) kú àárò. (E is honorific for elders, parents, bosses etc). However, there is something called ellision, where words "merge". So probably what you will be hearing is (e) káàárò. List of greetings: (E) káàárò - Good morning (E) káàsán - Good afternoon (E) kúùròlé - Good evening (E) káalé - Good night But it's actually more like "greetings for this morning" etc, but the English equivalent starts with good. Other greetings: (E) kú aájò - Greetings for your concern (E) kú ìtójú - Greetings for your preseverance (E) kú ìdúró - Greetings for waiting Do you remember what I told you about when to use the honorific E? If so, answer answer these: How would you greet your teacher: How would you greet your little sister: How would you greet your uncle: How would you greet your boss: How would you greet your younger friend: How would you greet your younger classmate: Other greetings: Báwo ni - How are you Báwo ni nnkan - How are things Also, Seanfly is the best when it comes to Yoruba. He explains very well. |

Very good! Though, you could've used good morning on little sister, and vice versa (bawo ni). Is there anything in specific you want to know? |

Eze Promoe: at OP. You think it's only Nairalanders that knows that Yorubas are cowards and can't fit in this kind of thing. Them don fight Hausas for them own homesoil not to talk of to fight their grandmasters away from their homesoil. Olosi oloriburuku! I suspected all this while that you're a Yoruba hater, stupeed f00l! To ba fi ori fanran yi sile Sango oko ya ni maa ran si e. |

Shollypopz: And the best you can do is to call me a goat ? You know that most comment we make here on Nairaland are just for fun. I had respected you so much, and being such one i respected i don't expect this from you. I was born in Yorubaland but wasn't opportuned to mix up with the 7 years i spent there. I don't think asking somebody (which isn't you) was bad though but don't quote me like this next time. Oshe! |
