First of all, thanks for the video! We are new to the language and are trying to learn the pronunciation. We would like to know something really specificw: Does the 'do-re-mi' tones have 1 tone distance from each other? (1 tone from do-re and another from re-mi) or the 'do-re-mi' is here is just used to describe a base sound pitch, and lower one and a higher one, not really 1 tone from each other? How do you work with those tones when singing? Do you have to always respect this distance or does it change? Im not trying to mess up with you, In fact we are singers and our family runs a religious house which culture is based on lots of African countries and Yoruba is a base language from our origins(Umbanda and Candomblé). So, although we sing in portuguese, which is our mother language, we want to learn Yoruba so we may sing in Yoruba as well, and that's why this question is really relevant to me. Thanks in advance.
I don't know much about the theory of music but here's what I can say. The tones, do , re , and mi , can be replicated and heard distinctly on musical instruments such as a piano by hitting consecutive keys on the instrument. So, if this means that they are one musical note apart, then I guess they are. Now, I'm not sure about the question of how ".... one works with those tones when singing.." These tones are just to help with correct pronunciation of the words, whether one is singing or just speaking naturally.
@@necksonUtube Thanks! Actually I have just heard other fluent native people talking and the interval do re mi seems to not be the same used for 12 tons music, but indeed they have a relationship. Probably the idea of lower, middle and higher pitch was the one that is associated here. Further research needs to be done anyway, thank you!
This is super! Japanese teachers should adopt this do re mi method when teaching what we call "pitch accent" (lexical tones) in Japanese.
This is my first Yoroba video

Is there a way I can email you about the yoruba language?
Well, that would have been ok. But I can't post my email address to a public forum.
question hope people can answer in nigeria what does ase mean in yoruba
Jonny Watts In today's usage in Yoruba, it's equivalent to "amen." I am not certain if it used to have another particular meaning.
Lord knows I’m trying … so many “ owo” in Yoruba. My husband tries to teach me but I continuously say “ hand” 😅
