kokoye: There is just one thing that I notice in some of the earlier translations. A typical Ekiti person will likely call his senior brother "oga-mi"rather than 'buoda-mi' Even among the locals, the tendency however is a mixture of English and Ekiti when speaking, so the reason for such remark like: 'Buoda mi, ka bi e wa . .mo ti j'oko si b'eee la taaro'. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by kokoye(m): 4:30pm On Oct 18, 2010 |
^^^ My parents and uncles and aunties are all typical ekitis and they have never called a senior 'oga mi'. Olumogun, e be like say na you go be the NL ekiti teacher now o . . cos ur ekiti lyrics are tight! |

Olumogun:If you're in Naija, Ekiti plenty for there. lol Will surely ask, stay tune. I want to switch my written yoruba to ekiti, then from there to my spoken yoruba. kokoye:Still wondering whadaell you ppl were doing in Mexico |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by kokoye(m): 6:03pm On Oct 18, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: I have been to Mexico just once . . . .Matamaros (a lot of americans actually live there). I just found the 'kokoye' name funny the first time I heard it and decided to use it as my handle on NL. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by Nobody: 6:05pm On Oct 18, 2010 |
kokoye:So why do you consider yourself mexican then? Kokoye, I've heard it before not sure what it means. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by kokoye(m): 6:31pm On Oct 18, 2010 |
^^^ Kokoye is the name yorubas in the south gave to mexicans. . . I got no mexican blood . . .just use the kokoye handle on NL. |

Ileke-IdI: Anti Udileke, seni kin ko oro kin ba fe utumo re L'ekiti jade. e.g I am going = mo ti fe alo Welcome = in kabo May I not be sick = mera rogun ojojo (aisan) Money spoil good friendship = eo ni boju ore je. So, write out what you want , and i will post the interpretation. |

Josh trager:couldnt understand this. akinolasam: Couldnt understand the bolded - Mi ke gbo un ti o ko sibi? [is that correct?] Wow!!! kokoye:o kabo, omo fifun lagbaro fifun [lol my grandma used to call me that] @ALL I am going to post a few sentence, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm having an headache - she nu orififo n gbe mi I have no classes today, but I have exams to study for - Mi ke ni kilassi korankan leni, sugbon mi ni exam lati ka? What is wrong with that child? - ki i se omo un? how are you? - be o ni? It's so hard to just ask for you guys to interpret. It's easier when I'm stringing up a normal conversation. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by kokoye(m): 6:25pm On Oct 21, 2010 |
^^^ I'm cool with all except the last one 'be o ni?' Not so sure about it . . , |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by Joshtrager1(m): 9:24pm On Oct 21, 2010 |

Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by kokoye(m): 9:50pm On Oct 21, 2010 |
^^^ does not sound like ekiti to me . . .I could be wrong. Sounds more like 'booni', which is core Ibadan. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by Olumogun: 8:12am On Oct 22, 2010 |
akinolasam: Meaning : Sister Idi-ileke, you are to write out the words you want interpreted to Ekiti. @ Idi-ileke 'm having an headache - she nu orififo n gbe mi I have no classes today, but I have exams to study for - Mi ke ni kilassi korankan leni, sugbon mi ni exam lati ka? What is wrong with that child? - ki i se omo un? how are you? - be o ni? Corrections I'm having an headache = ori 'fo mi (or) efori yomi lenu I have no classes today, but I have exams to study for = Mi ni kilaasi konkon loni, amo mo ni udanwo lati kawe fun. What is wrong with that child? = kai somo ni? (or) komi somo ni? (or) komi yomo ni lenu? How are u? = ba'o ni? There is a general word for CLASS (eko), but a typical Ekiti person will use "kilaasi" instead. I am really happy seeing the way we are all trying to keep to our root. My little girl often refer to Ekiti dialect/language as "grandma-english" each time she hears it. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by akinolasam: 8:30am On Oct 22, 2010 |
@Olumogun uwo gan ni ye kan a pe ni akomolede. = It you that should be called language teacher kare awe, mo roo re lori afefe. = weldone friend, I see your handwork on net. |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by kokoye(m): 1:32pm On Oct 22, 2010 |
I recommend a honorary doctorate award for Olumogun. In ekitiology |
Re: Abeg Who Can Teach Me Ekiti? by Olumogun: 9:16pm On Oct 23, 2010 |
kokoye: oga kokoye, inseun oye rabata kin mu dami lola, edumare a gbein na ga = Mr Kokoye, thanks for the big title accorded me, may Almighty lift you up too. But Akinolasam na master oh! |
