Yoruba Words That Mean The Same In Edo by MyopicMods(op): 5:34pm On Dec 04, 2020
1. “Omo”

It means “child” in both Yoruba and Edo.




2. “Igbo/Ugbo”

“Igbo” is commonly said by Yoruba, but in some dialects, “Ugbo” is also used and it means the same thing in both Yoruba and Edo.


3. “Baba”

It means “Father” in both Yoruba and Edo.


4. “Oba”

It means “King” in Yoruba and it also means the same thing in Edo.


5. “Iye/Yeye”

The Yoruba might use “Yeye” more but the words mean the same thing in Yoruba and Edo; “Mother”.


6. “Unu/Enu”

Some Yoruba dialects switch the “u” for the “e” in “enu”, so it’s the same thing with Edo and it means, “Mouth”.


7. “Ogede/Oghede”

Apart from the slight different spellings, these words are pronouncd the same and mean the same; “Plantain/Banana”.


8. “Ibata/Bata”

If you can unlook the other ‘i’, this word is really the same thing in both Yoruba and Edo and it means, “Shoe”.

There are more than 500 words in Edo that are similar to that of the Japanese with the same meaning.
In fact there is a place in Japan called Edo. And Japanese culture is similar to that of the Edo culture when I am free I will write an article on that

Mouth in ibo onu Edo is inu Yoruba is enu

Oba means king in Bini but Yoruba took it from the bini. It is normal when you stay with people for a long time, they will always be adoption of some words

Baba in Yoruba means father in Edo it is Abale.
Beside baba is not used by the Yorubas alone some tribe across the globe uses it.
Baba is not used by Bini is more like Ipa
