Eku nairalanding oo..

lol....Yoruba is a language with a lot of complications... if u don't really understand, u'll get lost. E ku (is u died) Ku (means died) E ku irole(means good evening/How is your evening) A word can have different meaning and used for different things...one good example is Oko.
Oko means Car
Oko means hoe
Oko means husband
Oko can mean farm with a different tone tho
E ku(long uu(as in oo in woo) is different from E ku (short u)

Surely you ain't Yoruba. And your half baked Yoruba understanding caused your misinterpretation. E Ku (Die) is pronounced differently from Eku ( Greeting). Just like many other homonyms/heteronyms in Yoruba -
e.g. Oko - could be farm, stone, peni's, or number 20 ; depending on the way you pronounce it

Another example is Ogun - which could be charm, medicine, will, God of iron, 20, or sweat (oogun).

So many Yoruba words derive their meaning depending on the use of your tongue/pronunciation

I ain't a grammarian, but I hope I have cured your ignorance - pardon my language. The experts can take it from there.
