mayze:oga,you are wrong,your orthography knowledge is archaic shola is written sola n and m are what we call nasal consonants and they are the only consonants in Yoruba language that can receive tone,therefore they can co-occur with other vowels, |

mfm04622: Ojiofor: I got interested in what you both said and decided to check the name of Tomato and Guava in other languages. It turns out its not as simple as you have it. Below is what I found. Arabic- Guava = jawaafa/ Tomato = tamatim Hindi- Guava = amarood/ Tomato = tamaatar Malay- Guava = Jambu/ Tomato = Tomato? Thai- Guava = F̄rạ̀ng/ Tomato = Mak̄heụ̄xtheṣ̄ Russian- Guava = guayyava/ Tomato = Pomidor German- Guava = Guave/ Tomato = Tomate Korean- Guava = guaba/ Tomato = tomato French- Guava = Goyave/ Tomato = Tomate The part of language (neologism) that makes it possible for the language to keep on coining new words must be very alive in order for any language to keep on inventing new words. While its true a language may borrow words for foreign things but as you can see its not necessarily because guava is foreign that is has to also be called guava in Yoruba. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Tomati ati gurofa here in Ondo we call it temosan! |
Re: Please What Is Tomato And Guava Called In Yoruba Language? by mfm04622: 5:27pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
musicwriter: It is because it is foreign! All those Both Guava and Tomatoes originated from Central/Southern America. They were Introduced to all other places, reason the names everywhere is a variation of the original names |

Tomato - Timati Guava - Goba |
Re: Please What Is Tomato And Guava Called In Yoruba Language? by musicwriter(m): 6:45pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
mfm04622: Bro, I already showed that not all of them is a variation of any so called original name. Its not as simple as that. For example; in Hindi, Guava is amarood. What's the relationship in sound with guava? In the book, Guns, germs and steel, author Jared Diamond no matter how biased his studies, identified some animals, such as chicken, duck, elephant, etc, and plants such as sorghum, yam, etc, not all indigenous to Europe, yet we all have European names for them outside of Europe. How do you explain sorghum, which originated between Africa and Australia but has neither African nor Australian name? 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Please What Is Tomato And Guava Called In Yoruba Language? by mfm04622: 7:55pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
musicwriter: Sometimes, even though something is not indigenous to an area, it can be given local name! The fact something doesn't have local name is is a pointer that the thing is not indigenous to the area |
Re: Please What Is Tomato And Guava Called In Yoruba Language? by musicwriter(m): 8:02pm On Dec 23, 2018 |
mfm04622: Of course, but I said that's not the only determining factor. If it was as simple as you said, all plants and animals would have the same name or variant of the original name all over the world. 1 Like |
