₦airaland Forum

Thanks SadeB, appreciate it man

i was on the joke section of this forum and i noticed that there were some jokes about lawyers.
why is it that nigerians dont like them?

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.

An esusu is a Yoruba word and it's a traditional African lending association common in West Africa (Where, of course, Nigeria is). Each month members meet to contribute money to a pool. At the meeting, the entire sum is given to a member in good standing. In Jamaica, the rotating credit system is known as “partners”,

Basically it's the exact same thing.

Oseun/ Ese n everybody that has helped me.
I'm going to bed now, odaro.

Odabo xx

Any swear words?

Any rude or helpful phrases? Lol

Dane. Not a very Nigerian name because my mum's English haha.

This forum changes too many words haha, s3x to intimacy!
And I like that saying

Maybe I have sex for fun?
Not too sure on that one.

Yes haha, love it.
Use it on my girl later and she won't know what I'm saying

Give me some rude phrases that I could kind of guess in English and see if I get them right.
Could you teach me some swear words as well?

And it's Dane. Not very Nigerian, My mum's English haha.

@Idowu - why would a man want to taste a girls ass? Why isn't it vagin4?

*Womanliness
haha, kitty.

Hahaha does it mean I want to eat Idowu pussy?

Ahh, I see.

[quote author=tayo_ast link=topic=573771.msg7398688#msg7398688 date=1293144179]EFPMK - Erin Fe Pa Mi Ku  [/quote]What does that mean?

Everyone else agree that ''mo fe dobo ___'' is common?

What is Merry Christmas in Yoruba anyone?

Got five different option then haha, which one is most common?

So how do you say "I want to (have) sex with _______"?

[quote author=D-sense link=topic=573771.msg7398466#msg7398466 date=1293141417]Yep . . .That's the meaning![/quote]Why did Idowu say something to do with a monkey then? Getting confused

Haha, that actually is an insult   I'd slap mans if he said that to me haha.
And D-sense does it actually mean that? in like a sexual way too? that will come in handy if it does
Now im confused idowu - how come when spelt mo fe dobo it means i wanna hump (sex basically)
and when spelt mo fe do obo - it means i want to sex a monkey? lmfao!

I don't live in America, I'm British but say if I saw another black man I would say like check that black man. I think we subconsciously do it to cut down the people who it could be and maybe get the other person to say "who?" less times. I dunno, we just do it. Blacks, whites, we all say the black man, the white man, what ever.

Idowuogbo:
black goat
there's a specie called obuku, they smell alot,they ooze out a smell to lure their female goat

That's nasty!

Idowuogbo:
emmh king u mite wanna learn dis
ikeji aja ni tayo
tayo is second to bin called a Dog  

So ikeji aja is dog in Yoruba?

I get the insult comes first bit.

Baba were ni gbking (gbking don dey madt)

instead of saying madt is gbking


I just don't get what the bit in bold means, teach me?

So in Yoruba you would say:

Eranko buburu ni tayo_ast
(Wild animal is tayo_ast)

instead of

tayo_ast is a wild animal?

haha okay

Whats an obuko dudu?

@tayo_ast Whats touche Yoruba? I think I get what you mean though.

@D-sense Oseun, but,
Both you and Idowuogbo have said goat as an insult, why is this?

Hit me with insults and I'll learn them.
Oseun everybody by the way.

I have a question though. Is Yoruba grammar the same as English? Do you put things in the same order?
Also, I've looked through some posts and people are speaking fluent Yoruba and then have a random English word in there. Why is this??

Yeah man, insults are needed too.
When the uncles are out of line

@Idowuogbo I will get my gran to help me with pronunciation when I see her.
I'm learning them you just taught me now.

@D-sense haha, joker.

Yes they seem easy. Don't know if i'm pronouncing them right but I can type them for sure.
