Phemour:

Alakoso, e seun pupo-pupo. means Chairman, Thank you very much.

Emi o gbo "e se" fun " thank you, " sugbon mo ko gbo "e se[i]un[/i]. " Se ki ni iyato naa ?

I heard "e se" for "thank you," but I have not heard "e se[i]un[/i]." What is the difference?


Mo fe mo ikini siwaju ati oro wopo. ( O se mo so "Emi fe mo , " ? ) (Se?) Kini "hello" ? "Bawo ni" ati "dandaa ni" ni fun "how are you" ooo?

E jo wi-fun mi bi oro temi ni ko otito lati igba eyikeyi.


I want to know more greetings and common phrases. ( Or do I say "Emi fe mo, " ? ) What is "hello?" "Bawo ni" and "dandaa ni" are for "how are you," yes?

Please tell me if my grammar / sentences are not correct at any time. smiley

Phemour:

"aki dupe low eni" have different meanin with "Ko tope o!" but they serve the same purpose,

"aki dupe low eni" = dont Show gratitude to youself

Eg:- oaes gave Phemour orange

Phemour say Thank You

oaes reply "aki dupe low eni"

oaes is trying to say Phemour and oaes are one so, dont thank youself

A ok !

Se ki ni " aki ? "

Se ni "ki" ati "ko" okanna ?

Literal:
aki - ?
dupe - to give thanks
lowa - we are
eni - to be one

--

Se what does "aki" mean ?

Are "ki" and "ko" mean the same ?
