Omo Yoruba, E Je Ka Ki Ara Wa Wipe 'E Ku Something' (Yoruba Greetings) by otilowaju(f): 10:55am On Jan 13, 2010 |
We Yorubas are the best 'greeters' in the world . We have a greeting for not only every activity but even idleness!!! A typical Yoruba woman/man would greet you for eating, sleeping, dancing, playing, bathing,name it!!! Here, I want us to review some of the ways Yorubas greet one another in this thread varying from the popular 'time of the day' greetings to the most ridiculous one youve ever heard. You are free to create your own, its purely for fun pls. I start:- E ku ode (when you go for an outing) E ku aare (when you are tired) E ku aisun (when you've had (or having) a sleepless night, as in partying or religious vigil E ku ATM ( ) E ku oko (to fellow passengers) O ya, welcome on board! 2 Likes |
