nike4luv ~ I was in Wales for a week, back in the 90's, while I was still in London. It was kind of quiet. It seems you're enjoying Wales.

does anybody know of a guide to pronunciation for yoruban names? or could someone who's actually yoruban answer this for me? for example, i love the name kayin. is it KYE-en (rhyme with "ryan"), or KAY-en? are vowels prounounced like in spanish (a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, o = oh, u =ooh) or more like english (a = ay, e = ee, i= eye, o = oh, u = you)? or something else entirely? thanks for the help!

its more like spanish.
one good thing, it doesnt change like english were "e" could have two different sounds
there are seven vowels "a" "e" "e" "i" "o" "o" "u"
the keyboard I'm using can't render the sylables properly, the second "e" has a dot under it, the second "o" also has a don't under it
|

thank you. so how does one correctly pronounce the name "kayin" in yoruba?
|
|
|
|
|
|
stranger12
|
I've never heard the name "Kayin" maybe thats the abbreviated form
well, if its spelt "kayin" then it would be pronounced with the
"a" as in bag
"i" as in eat
but please note that Yoruba is a tonal language
"ka" could mean count, bend or pluck depending on the tone.

thanks for the info. it's supposed to mean "long-awaited child" or "celebrated child". does that help with the intonations?
