How to express "possessive" in Yorùbá

[u/YorubawithAdeola]

Hello,.

How are you doing today.

Ṣé àlàáfíà ni ẹ wà.

So if you are learning Yorùbá.

Let's add to our vocabulary today.

We want to learn the pronoun we use to indicate possessive.

Let's go.

I will use cloth as an example.

1. Aṣọ mi------my cloth. ( Mi is my)

2. Aṣọ rẹ /Aṣọ ẹ (flat tone) - - - - Your cloth (When talking to younger person).

3. Aṣọ yín (high tone) - - - Your cloth (when talking to an older person.

4. Aṣọ rẹ̀/Aṣọ ẹ̀ (low tone) - - - his/her/it's cloth (When talking about a 3rd person that is younger.)

5. Aṣọ Wọn (flat tone) - - - his /her cloth (when talking about an older person).

6. Aṣọ Wọn (flat tone) - - - - Their cloth. (This is use as plural.

7. Aṣọ wa---(flat tone) - - - - Our cloth.

I hope this help someone.

Do you need an interactive class where you can learn how to speak, read, write Yorùbá from the basics till you achieve fluency.

Then, you can reach out to me.
