Good morning, I would truly appreciate it if someone could translate this sentence from Yoruba to English: Ko ma lo sun, abi? From my understanding, it means "You're pushing me away, right?" What would be an appropriate response like "What is this related to?" or "Message me" in Yoruba? Thank you! |

ife301:Ko ma lo sun, abi = He/She should (not) go to sleep, right? (The reason i wrote he/she is that same expression is used for male and female, then "lo" could me "go" or "not" depending on how it sounds. |

StarFlux:As someone said earlier, Yoruba words are usually developed base on description. "Player" can have different forms based on description: Elere - Used for those playing/taking part in any physical entertainment activity Osere - Used for someone entertaining by intellectual/oral performance (e.g. acting, comedian, poet etc.) Agba - Used for those playing/taking part in an activity that involves hitting something (e.g. football, tennis etc.) So I think all works but Elere is the strongest. I have never heard the usage of "Alare" or "Adije" as others highlighted. |
