AdeizaPaul: Lmao at "you are just improvising all those terms." Honestly I wasn't. You can google bean cakes & see for yourself. It's also called bean balls. The only one I "improvised" for was amala hence I added that I wasn't too sure. |

understand that a language evolves from the lives and experiences of its speakers. Osuka is not something the people of Europe use or know so they don't have a word for it just as you cannot have a word for bears or snow in yoruba or igbo because in their experience, those things don't exist. That is also the same reason words are borrowed from languages to others. Tsunami and el nino are not English words for the same reasons. |

[quote author=XYZo post=61482754][/quote] Yam flour ia before you cook it. And it is elubo in yoruba. Once u cook it it becomes amala. It is not a pudding or swallow or any of those things. The english you are stating are descriptions. What is pizza in yoruba? You will tell me there isn't such a thing. But we can call it akara oyibo pelu wara. Who in their right mind thinks akara is same as bread? But it is still used as a place holder for cake in yoruba. Cake is translated as akara oyinbo. Osuka can be translated a scalp prorector or load balancer. But there isn't a direct translation for this purpose |

The correct English word for 'Oshuka' is 'Wase'. |

I am reading Soyinka's The Road ... An immense but difficult play. At the beginning, Moreno takes his osuka and leaves. So I ended up here. I agree that "Porter's knot" is exactly right ... Except that "Porter's knot" is obsolete, obscure, and completely unknown to me (I'm a well-educated American). If you say "Porter's knot", I will be looking in dictionaries, almost as bad as if you just said osuka. Of course the trouble is that there is no such object in modern (or recent) American society, so there is no word for it. Of the suggestions above, I think "head pad" is the best. "Head rest" is something you put your head on or against. |
