    I find it interesting that both quickness and being fast like the thunder and wind and being the wife of a presider (,xangô) are both attributes we give to oyá in brazil

      I thought about that too.
      The “ya” in Ọya" is “to tear,” so “Ọya" is “the one who tears.”
      Interestingly, “ya” also means “run/flow with speed,” and it is much more intense than “yá,” which can be “fast” or “quick” or “early” but not necessarily “speedy."

      Wow thats pure gold! Thanks for the information! You could make an entire video about the etymology of the orisha's names that would be great!

    • @yorubalessons
      @yorubalessons  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The non-accented “s” is right. “Ò̩sun" is the original pronunciation/spelling, but we say “Ò̩ṣun" too. She was named “Ò̩sun" by people from Òsogbo (we also say “Òṣogbo").
      That being said, "sun" is to “seep/ooze,” which water does, and you could translate "Ò̩sun" as “source of water;” it is synonymous to the word “orísun.”
      “Ò̩sun" is “the one from whom water seeps/oozes” or “the one that seeps/oozes water.”

    4:00 That leads directly to a similar issue. What is the correct spelling/promounciation of Oba (the orisa) versus oba (ruler)?

    Hi, I'm half Yoruba but I don't speak it. In my mind I feel like there's a third o ya that's said when commiserating with someone. It's usually drawn out like ohhhh-yahhhhhh am I mistaken or mixing it with something else?
    If not can you tell me what that means?
    Many thanks for your efforts in educating the world in Yoruba language and culture

    • @yorubalessons
      @yorubalessons  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      🤔 There is “ò̩yà,” which is the “greater cane rat” or “grasscutter,” as we Nigerians call them, but it’s not typically drawn out in pronunciation.
      I can’t seem to figure out what you are describing at this time.

    • @yorubalessons
      @yorubalessons  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I figured it out; you are referring to the Nigerian onomatopoeia “ehhyaa,” which is used to express sympathy or pity.
      It’s not applicable.
