What are the english words for 'igbako' and 'omorogun', tools for preparing yoruba solid foods? Let's share our answers.

Omorogun - turning stick

Igbako. - ?

dexentity: Omorogun - turning stick

Igbako. - ?

Igbako : Solid food 'disher'

OP,

These utensils are Afrocentric, unique to the land! English language is a foreign tongue and not everything African must have an equivalent European term.

We must strive to teach any interested European to learn to pronounce "igbako" and "omorogun" in the native tongue, rather than attempting to find a soft-tongue for them to identify with.....the way some of us have done with our native names, anglocizing Yemi to Yemee, Ayo to Ayour, SHOLA to SHOLAH!

Stop the enslavement!

BTT:

Igbako : Solid food 'disher'

I will go along with that.

Igbako is called 'saucer' and omorogun is 'baton'

Sholah96: Igbako is called 'saucer' and omorogun is 'baton'

So what is saucer, and what is a baton to an Englishman? Morevover, what is their utility in an English household?

To englishmen, baton is used to knead dough during bread making by chefs, not in bakery o!

Sholah96: To englishmen, baton is used to knead dough during bread making by chefs, not in bakery o!

so why do we have to call omorogun a baton?

If North Africans had gone in search of an English equivalent for matsah, the whole globe will be calling it pancake.

If the Chinese had changed the name of his "lo mein" to anglo the whole world would be calling it "noodles".

Why cant "akara" just be that, why do we need to find English equivalent so it can be called "beancake"?

Each culture promotes its prominence through language and tongue. Why are we so consciously dead?
Any wonder why none of the African languages make the list of public awareness literatures, like Arabic, Korean, Chinese, Sanskrit, and so on?

Everyone in America know about "fufu". This is because we did not give it an anglo name. Let's follow that example. Make them pronounce our native terms instead of yielding to their language as a standard.

Guess why I'm now the happiest of men? My metaphysical is back! I love you my brother, please don't go. You know how much I miss U. Without "U" there's no "US"

2prexios: Guess why I'm now the happiest of men? My metaphysical is back! I love you my brother, please don't go. You know how much I miss U. Without "U" there's no "US"

whatssup my brother.
Long time, happy to see you!

I completely agree with this
It's bad enough that the way we overlook our language and everything about our identity, let's not loose it all and make our next generation a people without roots

English can borrow Yoruba words too
