Thanks man. I hear my family speaking Yoruba and I have always wanted to pick up on it so I could teach my kids some of their roots that they wouldn't really see otherwise as I am only mixed race with a white partner. I am Nigerian and English, so my kids are quarter-caste (me being half-caste, mulatto, mixed race, what ever label you would like to put on it) and my girlfriend being white.

Those phrases are pretty easy to master I think, got any more?

How do you say all this in Yoruba:

Hello
How are you?
I love you
Goodnight
Thank you
What are you doing?
Nigerian roots
Rest in peace
Only God can judge me
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year

Hi.
I am trying to learn Yoruba. Since I have been in the UK all my life I never really got taught the language.
Could someone tell me how to say the following in Yoruba:

Hello
How are you?
I love you
Goodnight
Thank you
What are you doing?

And any other basic phrases you can think of.

Also I am getting a few tattoos and I'd like to have the following in Yoruba:

Nigerian roots
Rest in peace
Only God can judge me

Thank you.
