Is it possible that you can do sight words so I can get a better understanding of simple sentences.

[@matthiashezekiah8793]

i so enjoyed it

[@DiamanteBox]

I'm glad you did !

[@chapelofholinessevangelica1689]

oh yes

[@realisticc1]

Ehn ko me bawo lati ma so Yoruba

[@ipaja5515]

another great video, i'm really learning a lot with u. ejo, can u write the correct form of the Yoruba words ie, with the appropriate dots under the corresponding letters that way we can know where to lay emphasis. eg, u said "o ti pe ti mo mo e". i know under the second "o" in "mo" there's a dot. o se pupo

[@ezraakran7158]

Hey Blessing, really appreciate the videos- I've been watching for a while now sporadically but I've decided to start the series from episode 1 to get a clearer understanding of the basics. One thing in this video has confused me, I've seen from another source that neighbour is 'aladugbo' but your video suggests it is actually 'aradugbo'. Is there a certain amount of fluidity with the words in the case that both versions are correct? or is my source mistaken. Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!

[@DiamanteBox]

Aladugbo can refer to your actual neighbour whereas you can use aradugbo for your general neighbours. People on the neighbourhood so aladugbo isn’t wrong.

[@Dreman777]

Do you speak igbo if so can you do some lessons on that as well

[@DiamanteBox]

Unfortunately I don't but I'm hoping to bring some igbo speaking guests on to the channel

[@yinkaadeniji6285]

Ore is my friend in school

[@chidiibekwe7616]

Please what is the meaning of Ogbeni

[@DiamanteBox]

Officially it means 'Mr' but its used more commonly as saying guy

[@AlwaysBlessed111]

How do you say "I love you" in Yoruba language?

[@DiamanteBox]

[@eugeneholmes9584]

[@DiamanteBox]

I'll try and do a conversation video on this if i can!

[@afolabiawe4733]

how do you say love

[@DiamanteBox]

Ife (EE-FAIR)

[@MizzoDalRio]

Can i use for a joking slang "oga" for my teacher, that should be "oluko"?

[@DiamanteBox]

It really depends on what kind of teacher and the relationship you have. Only if you have a jokey one but I would err on the side of caution

[@Manifinesser_7]

Hey girl ! I love your videos ...you are helping me out a lot :) ...just out of curosity my name is "Ajé" and I heard that means mother and/or witch(es) in Yoruba ....I was just curious if you knew if that was true or not ?

[@DiamanteBox]

Hey hun, with the way it's written it's Aje(which means good luck/lucky person), witches is spelt the same way but has different accents so yours is definitely Lucky.

[@theartistlol3279]

Aje Douglas Aje is luck, wealth but you might be referring to wealth and witch is ajẹ

[@akeemadedayo9626]

I'm almost certain it is Aje= god of business fortune or simply fortune. But , it 's commonly use to depict business fortune/wealth.

[@ukasztargosz8405]

I have question : how is on Yoruba : "thanks" and "goodbay" ?:)

[@DiamanteBox]

Ose is thank you Odabo is goodbye

[@g2gmack]

But doesn't o re mi mean I'm tired or I'm sick lol.

[@DiamanteBox]

Good question lol! Same spelling, different pronounciations/meanings. I'm tired is pronounced OH-RARE-ME, My friend is pronounced OR-RARE-ME with a bit more emphasis on Rare.

[@g2gmack]

Diamante Box oh lol. This why i need one on one lessons smh

It's deffo a beautiful name!

[@akeemadedayo9626]

Ore as given names could simply means ; Gift and Good deeds depending on the pronunciation.

[@goldingshyn2429]

So isn’t I am tired and my friend the same ?

[@DiamanteBox]

Spelt the same, pronounced differently

[@ikechukwulugard2707]

You so sweet girl

[@sbankzndo524]

sometimes oga can mean uncle

[@DiamanteBox]

Augustine plays oga doesn't mean uncle. You can use it to refer to uncle personally (I have never heard it used as such) but in genuine Yoruba language oga is not translated into uncle

[@sbankzndo524]

yh i know thanks for your help
