Apparently, this is how Yoruba sounds according to a 3-year-old. 😂😭
The confidence is 10/10. The Yoruba… let’s not talk about it. 😂
But every attempt to speak Yoruba is a step towards keeping the language alive. ❤️🇳🇬
Where are the elders of this app? 👀😂
I came across a Yoruba proverb that says:
“Bí Eégún bá fi ogún ọdún jó tí kò rí owó mú wálé, tí kò tún lẹ́rọ̀ lẹ́yìn, ká pẹ́gúngún yẹn tì…”
Which one is the correct ending? 🤔
A. Ká gbé Gẹ̀lẹ̀dẹ́ lárúgẹ́
B. Ká wá ọ̀rọ̀ tí a lè ṣe ní àgbálé
Ẹ̀yin àgbà, ẹ jẹ́ ká mọ̀ o
Àjùmọ̀bí kò kan ti àánú ẹni orí rán síni ló ńṣe ni lóore.
Being related by blood doesn't guarantee that someone will be there for you.
Sometimes, the person who helps you is the one Ọlọ́run or destiny sends your way, even if they're a stranger or acquaintance.
Don't lose hope when family disappoints you. Your helper can come from anywhere. ❤️
Who said Ìró àti Bùbá is only for special occasions?
She said, “I have an exam, but make it Yoruba.” 😂👏🏾
Traditional wear can be part of our everyday lives too, not just ceremonies.
Would you wear Ìró àti Bùbá to school or work? 👀
Ìyá ni wúrà.❤️ — Mother is gold.
Watching this throwback of Jesse King's “Mummy” is a reminder of why that Yoruba expression hits differently.
Mothers give us love, prayers, sacrifices and memories we'll carry forever. 🥹❤️
😂😂 Forget the British accent, she's actually doing something every Yoruba learner should be doing: HAVING CONVERSATIONS.
You don't have to be fluent before you start speaking Yoruba.
Speak it. Make mistakes. Learn new words. Build confidence.
Even if the Yoruba comes with a British accent.
Sọ Yorùbá!
The synchronization at the end is crazy🔥 🥹
Did you know?
The Yoruba people have one of the highest rates of twin births in the world.
In some Yoruba communities, as many as 1 in every 20 births is twins.
Twins are considered special and are traditionally celebrated in Yoruba culture.
How many twins are there in your family?

A kìí jẹ́ oúnjẹ borokini, ká pé ní ìfà
English translation; We do not eat a prominent person's food and call it a freebie.
When a person of honor blesses you, don't treat it like a cheap windfall. Respect the sacrifice behind the giving.
Never lower the value of a deliberate sacrifice by calling it "luck."
