It’s very telling that the first words I understood from my childhood are insults and commands
Woow...tbf it's often the first words a lot of people understand especially non yorubas
Arent those everybodies first words XD
thats how nigerians always talk lmao
😂😂same my fist Yoruba word was an insult😂😂
Yeah i learned curses in Spanish first from my ma
Yes! Will use these only for self defense, lol 😂, though they weren't that bad..you really don't like to be mean to people! 👍👏👏 Thanks for making the video!
Loool it was sooo hard!! Couldn't imagine saying worse ones loool but please oo only for self defense haha
@@DiamanteBox oloriburuku can be a curse depending on the happenings it could mean an unfortunate person
i said the first word out loud and my Nigerian wife went nuts! Gotta learn to silence my teachings...lol.
😂😂
what does it mean?
@@lifeaslonnyv9392 She said that i put a bad curse on her, that this should NEVER be said. I never had her upset until I said it, but I dropped that conversation REAL fast.
@@lifeaslonnyv9392 the person is finished, something is wrong with their head. A BIG curse, daft. My wife is upset now because I asked her again for you. It's an insult, cussing you. She said it's the most terrible.
Please visit our website www.yorubalessons.com for independent study courses, study materials, flashcards and other Yoruba related items such as T-shirts, headties etc
Meaning of o poo
She is so nice. Edit: Thanks for liking Diamante!
Girl you just taught me alot. I watched alot alot of African movies and in love with the culture. The culture is similar to mine and wanted to learn a few words so I can learn a bit more. Hope to visit Nigeria someday.
Video started 2:45
I’m here to learn cuss words to cuss out some scammers
lool
Want to travel 2 Nigeria?
Yoruba Lessons is hosting a group trip to Nigeria this December, we'll be touring Lagos in a safe and fun manner. To find out more about it and book your space on the trip, go to www.yorubalessons.com/travel or send an email to travelorisun@gmail.com where we will be happy to answer all your questions!
I am so happy that I found your challenge. I am Nigerian, half Yoruba half Egbo . Both my parents speak Yoruba. I don’t know Yoruba do to life situations. After watching this video I am most definitely sure I have been called these things. This is why I desperately want to learn Yoruba! I need to learn Yoruba
It’s never too late to learn! I’m sure you’ll be able to pick yoruba up!
It sounds like Haitian Creole if I’m not paying attention
Haiti is an African country basically, lol. when I first moved into East Flatbush Brooklyn and heard so many Haitians I though I had moved into an half African neighborhood instead of an all Caribbean hood. I ended up studying with a master Haitian drummer back then, but recently I was chilling with a friend from Benin City Nigeria and when he was playing his traditional music it was giving me serious flashbacks of Haitian traditional music
@@proverbalizer there is a branch of voodoo in the north, called nago...there are actually lwa in the pantheon like legba, ogou and chango, yoruba deities.
@@oritafilms yeah, Nago is the term for Yoruba descendant in Haiti, also in Brazil I believe. There are many different dialects of Yoruba and I think Anago was the name for one of the most western Yoruba groups in the region of Dahomey (modern Benin Republic)
@@oritafilms legba is a term we use for small gods in Ewelands, like Volta Region, Togo and Beni..
My cousin once called me solomakinde and he got in trouble for it. We both don’t know what it means
Solo makinde is a gossip i believe
I only watched this video to insult my British friends who do not know what I am saying
Same lmaooo
Even in yoruba the insult are respectful comparad with western languages
Haha that is true!
I am noticing that some of the insults deal with ppl not being able to make smart decisions, or have the intelligence or good sense. Sounds like my Southern American upbringing. Can I say that Yoruba ppl value common sense, intelligence and decency?
Haha that is definitely true
Onisekuse many times referred to ladies who have sex around.
I don’t think Amebo is Yoruba.
I have a couple lesson requests: More with verbs, especially how do you say things in different tenses (past, present, future etc.)
And a lesson on conjunctions and all types of little connecting words such as, and, or, if, but, however, because, so, when, which, that, who, to, for...etc.
Definitely!!
Yes, please make some lessons on the tenses of the verb, darling! Abegi! 🙏😃
Eka rooo i'm Italian i've been in Lagos Ileja in the '70 up to' 80. I remember some insult but don't remember what they mean. Sorry don't want to insult any one here. Oriodda.. Orieffo.... Were niaw were.... May be is not correct write. I Beg... So long time is passed. Odabooo youruba old ITALIAN PIKIN
Hahah I knew almost of the insults you meant
Who else is from 2019
I've never been insulted by any Nigerian (or at least I thought since I don't understand the language anyway 😆) .. All I got from them are positivity and good vibes in my experience .. And oh, Jollof rice .. Oh yes !! 😃😋
Why does this video have so many views 😂😂😂.
Me that skipped to this video 👀👀
😂😂😂
Oloriburukun = Unfortunate, Oh You missed the mother of insult * Olosi* = wretched wasted human being 😆😄
thanks you so much for the videos it means the word to me we love for you being you
Thank you so much for your support!!
As a Ghanaian who speaks 5 Ghanaian languages and currently learning yoruba and kiswahili, I'm excited with this lesson. I promise I won't use it. Except Oloriburuku and Werey🤣
😂😂
How are you learning Yoruba?
Wowwww 5 that’s empressive
How do you pronounce aiku and aie and can you do a video on short words that looks like it’s two words in stead of one
Aiku as in alive? = I-KOO
Aie = AH-YAY
💞👍🏽✍🏽💯 thank you 🙏🏽
Ko to pe!
"Ki lo mo se fu win?...Oloriburuku' 😂😂😂😂I said that to a Yoruba friend of mine who was mocking me...he started laughing and asked me where I learned that from.!😂😂😂😂
Alban Kassuere LoL
Lool
Thank you for this. Also subscribed
Oloriburuku😂😭
Iye ma she lol who else is Yoruba
I also try not to insult and my parents rarely cuss or use vulgar language so I can relate! Love you, Blessings! -Bern
Starts at 2:38
last evening I witnessed the most ridiculous overly dramatic fight between this woman and an okada driver... if I had been listening close enough I'm sure I could have heard all of these insults and more, lol
Hahah the things you see out and about aye
The Three Stooges -do you know them? In Japanese they are "The Three Idiot (Baka) Generals," and in Japanese "The Three Smelly Shoemakers"! Swearing , even mild swearing, is definitely cultural.
I will do everything you said thx very much
This video was useful for dealing with scammers who speak Yoruba though
What is ahiere?
Asiere? Mad person
How do you call someone a evil witch

I'm using this video in a graduate class b/c it's so much fun and helpful.

Any American person
mike okoko I knew I’d find this here. Sigh
Darling, I love your lessons so much! ☺The deeper I go into the fabulous Yoruba language, the more exciting it gets! 😇 You have been doing a fantastic job. Eku se! 😃 But can I get to know your real name? I mean the Yoruba name. Because Diamante Box just can't be good enough to me, you know... Lol. It's really important for me to know the name of the person I like and admire! Ki ni oruko re? 😀
I’m so glad the videos are helpful! My name is Blessing or Ibukun
@@DiamanteBox Nice to hear your name, oluko mi Ibukun! Ose gan! ☺😊
Yes!
what does olodo rabata mean? i have heard it from samspedy LOL
Olodo means a stupid person, rabata is used to emphasize the person's stupidity. So Olodo rabata means someone who is very dumb.
I have often heard my driver call "Mumu" to other wreckless drivers on Lagos roads! Wonder what that means?
Fool, idiotic
In Germany Mu´mu means cow. Wo´wow means dog, Ma´mau cat. a chow´chow is also a dog. Those are africans tribs, which went to Germany.
I'm from South Africa and would like to learn more about Olodumare
U didn't add werey
Asin mad person
😂😂😂😂
I just downloaded this ... And I subscribed..😂😁😀

Aww that’s great!
That was great! Thanks for sharing love 💘💘💘
Ewo wa leyin, pls tell me d meaning
I thought Aje is a day of the week. I love Yoruba but whew 😅making sure to say things right is a huge must
Haha yeah, its incredibly hard but Ah-jay is what you're thinking of which is fortune and half of the word for monday.
This is Aje which is Witch (Ah-jeh)
@@DiamanteBox haha! Just asked my husband how to say “ the Monday witch” I am literally laughing.
What is a Yoruban expression of annoyance, like "bugger" or "bollocks" or "crap"?
Good question lol, i never thought of this, maybe something like 'Tori Olorun - For God's sake'
You could say rada rada for crap
Blessings, are you still doing tutorials or you finished all the Yoruba we need to know?
Haha I'll still be back!
Olukọ mi, laisi rẹ kọ ni da fun mi
So I think I’m finding out that the reason my mom refused To teach me yoruba is so she could keep cussing me out in yoruba😭

Thank You 🙏🏾

The vast majority of our insults revolve around stupidity 😂😂😂😂😂 ode, oponu, arindin, akuri, munoonu, alainironu...
Haha this is very true
How I can use ‘ko ṣe pataki’ in a sentence like could I say “fine how cares ko ṣe pataki”.

Yes it is yoruba, it means "get out"
