most of the words you guys have here are not written the same way, you know yoruba has a lot of dots here and there, for example, ejo = snake ejo = discussion ejo = please for someone who writes and speak yoruba, the first and second dont belong to a group but the second and third do. for none speaking people who just use the translator or the dictionary, oko = manliness, oko = farm oko = vehicle oko = hoe oko = husband. if you tell someone using dictionary oko mi nbo leni, the person interprets as My manliness is coming today! |
