Ok lets start simple. I'll give you the pronunciation of some words to help, not all of them are the actual spelling of words

How are you- Ba wo nee

Good Morning- Ẹ ku aarọ

Good afternoon - Ẹ ku ọsan

Good evening - Ẹ ku alẹ

(if you're speaking to an elder man, end the greeting with sir. If an elder woman, end it with ma)

I don't understand- Ko ye emi

Yes- Bẹ ni

No- Ó ti

Do you speak Yoruba?- Ṣe o nee sọ Yorùbá?

(you respond with)

Yes, very little. - Bẹ ni, diẹ diẹ (pronounced deeye deeye).

Tell me Hausa

there is no need for a 'ma' or 'sir'.. the 'E' prefix is sufficient for formal or respectful expression

I know but I tend to say it regardless, there's never too much curtesy in Yoruba culture.
