Yoruba terms by an igbo female.
|
A friend of mine (Igbo person) jokingly wanted to prove to me that she could speak Yoruba cos I told her she couldn't. Here is the proof. I thought it was dead funny! Some of the translations are just too funny to me. I had to burst into laughter reading them. Thank God my office mate was not around. LMAO!
I know my yoruba very well and I can prove it. Let me give you some examples.
Eh kpata wofun-Clap your hand
Abi onshere ni?-is something wrong with your head?
Kpele-Sorry
Ma shekpe fuen-I will slap you
Ki loshe omodeyi-What is wrong with this child?
Ema gbami-Don't kill me
Otito-finish
Aladurah- (I don't know what this means) For real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ashewo- Free woman-( I think all nigerians and all the igbos know what this means. The igbos react violently when you call them this)..
A song (I know you know this.
Ose o jesu
Bla bla bla bla bla
Ose o jesu
Olorun wa yowa
Ose o jesu
Bamu wa mi yor
Baba ope tamu wa fu yun.
La la la.
HOW DID I DO?
Hmmm...let's seee...how did she do? Only someone who understands Yoruba can say how she did. For me...let's see...what can i say in Igbo? Hmmm...only one statement apart from the greetings...o tun nnegi! Most Igbos get mad at me when I say that, but hey...that's what I was thought in high school by my Igbo friends!

Well shame on you buddy... and to think you know so many igbo people. You bera get 'Cheif Mba' to teach you some..lol.
As per 'Ma shepe fun e' (which is the right way to write it.. there is no 'kp' consonant in written yoruba language, that's igbo) I always thought it meant ' I will curse you/ put a hex on you' and 'Ma fo eti e' means I will slap you. Hmh Ol'boy if that is the case you need to go back to Ijebu and brush up with 'Akolede Iwe Kini'. They even have the CD 'Je Ka So' ...LOL

lol trust that to be the one you know hahaha. I know the odd word but nothing as effective. what's the yoruba translation? gotta arm myself lol
-
Hmm there i was thinking that i know yoruba, no wonder when i "try" to speak it, they laugh at me silly.
The one i use to trip them is:
Sho wa kpa, I know i know but hey you have to give me credit for trying.
AS for igbo that is some difficult language and no more otu......
You can start by saying....
Ke kwanu

LOL!!! At lease she knows more Yoruba than I do Ibo... I only know a handful of abuses and that's it... LOL!!!
