Simply answer: daadaa ni - all is well. Then you can ask back: iwo nko? - and how are you?

Well, it's commonly used, but it's more of a West African thing and not necessarily restricted to Yorubas only.

Cassava is "ẹ̀gẹ́".

You have three basic tones:

Low tone: è (grave accent). This one is pronounced with a low pitch.
Mid tone: e (unmarked). I guess you could call this the standard tone of speech in general.
High tone: é (acute accent). This one is pronounced with a high pitch.

In addition you have falling and rising tones which are written as follows:

Falling: éè (grave + acute). Pronounced with a falling pitch.
Rising: èé (acute + grave). Pronounced with a rising pitch.
