Ileke-IdI: But in this case, how is it conveyed that she wasn't Uriah's wife when she gave birth to Dafidi? Is aya the term for "wife" alone, or for sort of "ex-wife"? |
Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by DapoBear(m): 4:29pm On Nov 20, 2010 |
Didn't quite figure it out, but now I see the audio version I'm using to uses very different words than "aya Uriah" (which is what I found here: http://www.africanportal.net/ABO/BibeliAtoka/MATTEU.pdf). They use some other, much longer expression. Searching now if I can find some text to read that matches the audio. . . |

Candy9: candy9, ekaaro ma kaaro, ojiire ni omoluwabi nshe lojojumo is usually a praise for a child who wakes up early, greets his/her parents respectfully and goes on to do his/her chore without complaining. It means "Good morning, [i]You're a "good child"[omoluwabi] that wakes up well every morning"[/i]. omoluwabi itself means "a child with good character". Asha ile wa ni yen - That's usually the behavior of our home. In the Yoruba culture, each behavior/characteristics of a child is linked to his/her home. We tend to look at the house where the child came from. E Seun- Thank you Candy9: AKARI is not one word, but two; A KARI A= Will KARI ==> be enough for all of us GBOGBO = Everyone WA = us FUN= For . In this case, fun is for. lol Yoruba words have multiple meanings depending on the tone. IRE A KARI FUN GBOGBO WA O (AMIN) ===> Blessing will be enough for all of us o. |

Just a recommendation. I purchased this "Beginner's Yoruba" book by Kayode J. Fakindele. It comes with two audio CDs as well. Seems like a pretty good resource for learning the language. Being able to rewind back and forth the pronunciation of each lesson from the textbook is quite useful. |

Thank you How come throughout the website people use a variety of different spellings for the same word? Is it because the language is mostly spoken so a correct spelling is only known by few or is it just slang? For example you said what are you doing is "Ki l’o n se" however another person said "ki lon she" practically the same but spelt differently. |
