An African American girl in Africa!! I learned quickly to decipher tone of voice because the sarcasm is strong in Naija #naijacomedy #palava #ollachi #cultureshock
In Yorùbá, we have an adage that sorry has the female version and the male version. So does every other expression. You just got the male version lol 😆 😂
Spot on. Ogun = 20 Ogun = war/battle Ogun = medicine/medication/drugs Ogun= properties Ogun = god of iron Ogun = sweat Ogun = charms I love my language❤😊
Okay I'm that pendant who'll add the àmìs for everyone 😂 Ogún: 20 Ogun: war/battle Ògùn: medicine (also charms/juju/voodoo, also the name of a state) Ogún: property (or to be more exact, inheritance) Ògún: God of iron Òógùn: sweat Ó gùn: it is long Ó gun: he/she stabbed him/her/it Ó gùún: he/she climbed

We do the exact same thing in Somali. Whenever you do something wrong, all the aunties (mom included) well clap their hands and say, ,"Good job" or "Well done" or even "good girl/boy" with that same exact tone of voice. 😂😊
"Ekushe" for someone older than you or (in plural form) if you are more than one person carrying out an activity while "kushe" is for someone younger than you.
Something about Yoruba language is the tone. Once you hear a certain tone with some certain expressions, you'll understand Yoruba sarcasm😂😂 Ku'se my dear😊
As a Nigerian, there are five different meanings of 'Ehn' 1. Ehn - what did you say? 2. Ehn - Is that so? 3. Ehn - *sarcastic* you don't mean it 4. Ehn - let me think about it 5. Ehn - Yes Bonus: ehn said more than once can mean no, really, i don't want and i don't agree with this at all 😂😂
@@gardensteps 😂😂😂 once my sister asked her son to get water, he brings it and keeps say this is it. She suddenly says put it on my head "gbe Le mi Lori" 😂😂😂
@@ajibadesheriff7133 Oh yeahhhh!! That is a classic Yoruba mom....l think all Nigerian moms actually. When a child asks a simple question like, where should I put this mom? If mom expects you to know where to put it without asking, the answer from mom would be that response ... "gbe le mi l'ori" (put it on my head). 🤣
I remember when I told my children they should stop speaking English in d house then I was like what have I done to my self but now they are very good at it
Me to my dog every time she is doing something mischevious (well done oo, well done, continue) and she always gets it, then stops. Haha. Love my culture
See I can’t do this, I can’t do sarcasm, I would get my face slapped every which day thinking I was being congratulated. I’m repping Ivory Coast and Canada.
😂😂Absolute, yoruba is deeply meaningful, one words can means a lot, and if you're not really the son of the soil, you will never understand and even if they try to break it down for you explaining, you might still not get it
The bad ku ishe, will surely have a qualifying extended drag to it with an ooooo or ehnnn behind it which would determine how Severity your punishment😂
Yorubas and sarcasm is 5/6, they don't mean anything they're saying. If they're praising you, they could be insulting you and if they're insulting uou could be praising you. Specifically Yorubas, they're drunk with sarcasm
Yep. I would like to thank you for that pronunciation rant. Half Nigerian in the states, and honestly tired of hearing everyone mispronounce such a simple word.
Yoruba is the most complex language for an outsider to learn, argue with your God, lol. One word can have a billion meanings, you just need to understand the context in which it was used. And not only that, the tone that was used, how they stressed the pronunciation and even the facial gestures or side eye used lol. Just ask your favorite Yoruba aunty. Ku ise, 😂
“Ku ișę” shortened to “Ku’șę” Yeah, we know the meaning especially if it’s coming from your mum 😂🤣 It basically means you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing in the first place and you’ll most likely get some ass whooping if you continue.
You ought to av checked urself with the change in the tone. Tone and body language plays an important role in the African culture. Sorry though😂😂 hope u got the memo now😂
Lagos is the most diverse Nigerian state. You can find at least 1 person from all the 250 tribes there. So it's not really a Yoruba state. Many people assume that it is because Lagos is located close to the Yoruba region of Nigeria
Actually you are 100% WRONG. Lagos is diverse indeed but it is truly YORUBA. People from the east and other regions in Nigeria came to meet the YORUBAs in Lagos, SouthWest Nigeria! 😊
Lagos is undisputedly a Yoruba state in the West. Does the fact that people from different tribes live in FCT-Abuja makes it not to be a Northern state? The people that migrated to a place doesn't change the origin of the place.
Honestly when I heard “well done” and “clap for yourself” I knew it was over for you 😂😂😂😂
Another bad one, “my friend.”
Haha! 😂 Said twice for emphasis 🤣
😂😂😂😂 and don't let them give the head nod while delivering "my friend". Wahala, wahala!
😂 that she clapped 😂😂😂is killing me. I felt sorry for the little girl but I can't stop laughing now that she's talking about it as an adult with humor
That exaggerated "ku ise" just means you're about to get it, your soup don done!😂
Any sentence in yoruba can be turned to curse

Lol😂😂😂
If i was there ,i would have said this " welcome to naija where words have opposite meanings"
😂😂😂😂😂
. . .or two opposite meanings.😂
The switch of accent was crazy
We do the exact same thing in Somali. Whenever you do something wrong, all the aunties (mom included) well clap their hands and say, ,"Good job" or "Well done" or even "good girl/boy" with that same exact tone of voice. 😂😊
When they oooo at the end and and say the well done twice, you clearly know you have fucked up.... "ku se oooo, ku se" 😂😂
Why is that the moment the exaggerated ku ise was said, i knew exactly what was coming.😂 I'm Ghanaian by the way.
😅😅😅 OMG. You need to say this on a comedy stage. Nigerians go burst laff. Its very subtle but funny as hell! Well-done. And i think the word is ekushe
"Ekushe" for someone older than you or (in plural form) if you are more than one person carrying out an activity while "kushe" is for someone younger than you.
1. Ẹ kú iṣẹ́. (for more than one person or people older than you are)
2. O kú iṣẹ́. (for one person or people younger than you)
@@Lykinzand Ó kú'ṣẹ́ is shortened to kú'ṣẹ́, but the plural/polite/formal ẹ kú'ṣẹ́ is never shortened.

Omg i laughed so hard😂😂😂 as a YORUBA girl I relate😂😂
Great story and great story telling. Will make a great short. Lean in on that.
😂😂😂😂 yep, Yoruba will tell a word to mean the opposite.
Very true!!!!!
Like "Ori ę peee", when you're literally messing up!
That's why some other tribes think we're shady as h3ll. Not so.

It's about to go down low😂 😂 😂
😂😂 Sounds like the Nigerian equivalent to “yes, mash i’ up!” for Jamaicans
@glamrgirl33 can we talk?
Yes “well done” could be both good or bad. It just depends on the tonality used in pronunciation.
😂😂😂 when u hear that clap for yourself, know that Ur cup don full that day o
The Nigerian experience😂😅
She even clapped for herself😂😂 Kuuussee..
They started clapping on your face, and started seeing stars hehehehe
It’s all about the pronunciation and the body composition of the speaker.
Honestly u nailed it 🤣
It's Yorùbá 😂 she still murdered it😂
Girl 😂😂😂 that "clap for yourself" triggered memories o 😂
Too funny… Love it!!❤
That was funny 😅😅😅😅
I had to follow. Just came across your channel. You're so hilarious. More strength to your elbow.
Kusè ômo mi in a soft voice
Which means u are doing well
But immediately you hear kuusè oooo
Just know fire is coming
Please guys don't put accents on Yoruba words if you're not sure. Your accents on the words are wrong.
Exactly, I was waiting for the ooo
This is so true and relatable 🤣😂

Lagos is actually a Yoruba state which is occupied by different people from different tribes in Nigeria not just the Yorubas.
It's a Yorùbá state, ma'am. However, it's a metropolitan city that is home to many tribes including foreigners.🤗
Actually you are 100% WRONG. Lagos is diverse indeed but it is truly YORUBA. People from the east and other regions in Nigeria came to meet the YORUBAs in Lagos, SouthWest Nigeria! 😊
