| What's The Archaic Yoruba Word For Grandma And Grandpa? by Nobody: 7:34pm On Feb 25, 2017 |
Is there an archaic word for "grandma' and "grandpa" in Yoruba? or it has always been "iyaiya" and "babababa" I'm asking cuz this doesnt sound as eloquent as I know the Yoruba language to be , so i thought there might be a "ijinle" – Archaic word for both. Thanks! |
