Think you're a Mathematician or Arithmetician? Think the Yorùbá language is spoken by a bunch of 'illiterates'? Hmm... Think twice and think harder because, you're about to be schooled by the 'Yorùbá Ninja'. Try and learn Yorùbá numerals by solving these word problems....

If 20 = OGÚN… where

2 – Méjì

3 – Méta

4 – Mérin

5 – Márùn

6 – Méfa

7 – Méje

8 – Méjo

9 – Mésan and,

10 – Méwa, Then….


40 = 20 x 2 = OGÚN Méjì - Ogoji

60 = 20 X 3 = OGÚN Méta - Ogota

80 = 20 X 4 = OGÚN Mérin - Ogorin

100 = 20 X 5 = OGÚN Márùn - Ogorun

120 = 20 X 6 = OGÚN Méfa - Ogofa

140 = 20 X 7 = OGÚN Méje - Ogoje

160 = 20 X 8 = OGÚN Méjo - Ogojo

180 = 20 X 9 = OGÚN Mésan - Ogosan

200 = 20 X 10 = OGÚN Méwa - Ogowa / Igba

So, who says you have to be some 'Babalawo', Yorùbá Diety or 'Ifa-Priest' to master the rudiments of the Yorùbá language? At least, hope you got taught a great lesson by the Yorùbá warrior or perhaps, learnt something new... Stay tuned for part 2.
