Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by davidif: 11:33pm On Oct 10, 2010 |
To all the Ekiti people on this site. Can anyone teach me Ekiti? |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by Nobody: 1:58pm On Oct 11, 2010 |
Awwww, am really impressed that you REALLY want to learn. I want to learn too, I know a lil bit; In ora lule ni be n o ---> typical greeting [I cant translate it into English tho] Se ke si ---> Hope nothing is wrong me a le o ---> I'll get get money [future tense, being optimistic ] mi pe o titi, in ke da mi lohun ---> I called you a lot of times, you never answered. Difference between soe yoruba words and ekiti is that sometimes we tend to replce our "I" with "U". ex: Isu --> Usu Ile ----> Ule Iwo ---> Uwo Some other difference: we get rid of the "w" sound To you ------> YORUBA; S'iwo EKITI: Si o [we get rid of the "w" sound] I will ------> YORUBA ; ma wa EKITI; me a Money ------> YORUBA ; Owo EKITI; e o [ "e" is pronounced as "hey" with the "re" tone mark] Also, for "I" is different. YORUBA----> ma EKITI ----> me [pronounced as "may"] ex: I'll come home. YORUBA; ma wa sIle EKITI; me a s'ule The tone and accent also change. ex: YORUBA --> ma wa sile [doh re mi re] EKITI ------> Me a s'ule [ doh re mi doh] 2 Likes |

thanks for the post but i thought "oko awe" was the normal greeting. mi pe o titi, in ke da mi lohun I thought "mi" was only a Lagos dialect and not an Ekiti one. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by Nobody: 5:40pm On Oct 12, 2010 |
davidif: "Oko awe" abi "okun awe". . . lol when was the last time you went to Ekiti state? "In ora lule ni be n o" is a greeting you say when you visit someone in their house. "in okun o" is also one of the greetings. All my family speak at home is Ekiti (5% Yoruba), and they always use "mi". Anywaz, there used to be a lot of Ekiti nlers, which they could help with this thread cuz I want to learn too. 1 Like |
