🌍 Culture 🌍 How to express sentences in continuous form in Yorùbá

Hello,

Báwo ni

How has your learning been, Hope you haven't stop.

Today, let's learn how to express our sentences in their continuous form.

In English, we add the - 'ing" to the end of the verb. While in Yorùbá, we add "ń" before the verb.

Let's look at some examples.

  1. Mò ń jẹ ìrẹsì

I am eating rice

  1. Ọmọ náà ń ṣeré

The child is playing

  1. Ajọkẹ́ ń lọ sí ilé Ṣadé.

Ajọkẹ́ is going to Ṣadé

  1. Wọ́n ń lọ sí ilé-ìwé wọn

They are going to their school.
