olo miii----------my wifey
Never heard of that. It's usually : Iyawo mii or aya miiegbe eneu dake------------keep shut
Adult: e gbe nu e dake (am not sure you'll want to say this to your elder  ) Younger: Gbe nu e dake |

Thing is, when you're talking, you need to be careful of your audience. Respect plays a major role in the language. What you say to someone younger than you, you cannot say it to your elder |

Sienna, you can put "ma" or "sir" at the end of your sentence to emphasize respect to your elders.
ex:
Ko t'ope ma ---------- You're welcome, ma'am
@post
elder: Ese n (pronounce like eshe n)- thank you
younger: ose n

You are welcome - Ko tope

But like I told Siena be4, you cannot talk to your elders the same way you talk to your girlfriend. Nigerians, obv, cherish respect. read my previous post on this thread to clarify |

@Bawolo Please don't insult our teacher. If you want to take over from her, get a permit from our PRINCIPAL who unfortunately to you is the person you are insulting. You better apologize now. @Ruby_Pearl Please don't mind him. He is one of them damaging the image of our education. Imagine him insulting a teacher. I want to catch a brief rest, we will continue tomorrow please. |

That is better. But, must you insult somebody even if that person is your junior or not. I think we should all learn how to respect one another. ONE LOVE, my brothers and sisters. Anyway Anty, what is "pele"? |
