k= normal tone
E=High tone

there's nothing like "Olasofunwa" in Yoruba nah,

wowcatty:
speaktome & the rest.

You Igbos can lie sha, oya post some of your texts with these words not referring to Yoruba or bow your heads in shame. I can swear that you don't have a single word with any of these, the closest you can get is joining different words together. You Igbos that don't even have words for most day to day words like the Yoruba. now all of a sudden have Olabisi, Olanike, Olaniyi etc. If you Igbos say it's raining outside people need to actually go and check it to be sure.

gbemishile:
When someone says “One Nigeria”, many Nigerians internally scoff. Some even go as far as doing it on the outside.

This is because Nigeria is full of many tribes who do not seem to have a lot in common.

But when you look closely, many Nigerian tribes have many things in common such as culture, food and even languages.

The Yorubas and Igbos may seem to be as different as the sun and moon. But they have lots in common, especially in language.

Here are 7 words you’d find in both Yoruba and Igbo languages , although they may have different meanings and pronunciations:

1. Ile
Any Yoruba person will tell you that this word means “House”. In the Igbo language, this word means “Tongue”.



2. Enu
In Igbo, enu means “Up” while in Yoruba, it refers to the Mouth.



3. Owu
Can you believe this word means the same thing in both languages? Yes, it does. Owu is both the Yoruba and Igbo word for Thread.



4. Ede
Ede is the Yoruba word for language. It is also the Igbo word for Cocoyam.



5. Olaniyi
In Igbo “Olaniyi” means “Someone that has no value, a waste!” In Yoruba is a name, not just a Name,perhaps it’s a name per excellence which means “Wealth Has Value“. But imagine what the meaning was in Igbo language, someone can’t bear Olaniyi in the east in peace �



6. Aja
Aja is found in both languages albeit with different meanings. In Igbo, Aja means Sand. But it means Dog in Yoruba.



7. Jide
It’s pretty amazing how two different tribes can have the same name for male children. Though to be fair in Igbo, this name is the short form of Jideofor.

In Yoruba, Jide is the short form of Babajide, Olajide etc. In Igbo, Jide means to hold. While in Yoruba, it can mean “has come/resurfaced”.



8. Oja
When someone says the word “oja” in Yoruba, they mean market. In Igbo, Oja is the name given to the flute.
