Yoruba Words. And Expressions With No Synonyms In The English Language by dharmie(f): 7:22pm On Aug 11, 2012
I'm writing an academic paper on the effectiveness of English as a cultural tool. I need help on some Yoruba words and expressions that do not exist in the English vocabulary. An example is ' ekale'. Which does not exist in English. Your contributions are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
