I no be yoruba boy but I know say...'Ifokan'bale' means 'peace of mind'. So if 'peace of mind' is 'ifokan'bale', the 'ifokan' should be 'peace'. As a hausa boy, 'kwanchiyar hankali' means 'peace of mind' but what exactly is the word for 'peace'? |

killuminati: I no be yoruba boy but I know say...'Ifokan'bale' means 'peace of mind'. So if 'peace of mind' is 'ifokan'bale', the 'ifokan' should be 'peace'. If'okan-bale is not THE word for peace in yoruba. Its alafia |

negro already pointed out the difficulty in trying to directly transcribe yoruba words or syntax to english. and yes, ire can mean, or means goodness. |
Re: The Meaning Of Peace In The Different Nigerian Languages by tpia5: 4:13pm On Mar 20, 2013 |
gulfer: I suppose the Yoruba name for peace, is 'Ifokanbale' ifokanbale refers to the individual, not the environment. so, it means rest of mind, and is descriptive, not a noun. 1 Like |
