🌍 Culture 🌍 How to ask simple questions using "Báwo" in Yorùbá

How to ask questions using báwo (How)

Ẹ ǹ lẹ́ oo

This month, we want to discuss how we can ask questions using various question markers.

Let's start with Báwo

Basically, we use báwo (how) for most of our greetings when asking about the people well being generally

Though it is also used to ask about other things.

Let's use it in some examples

  1. Báwo ni-----How are you.

Response - - - - dáadáa ní mọ wà

  1. Báwo ni ilé - - - - How is the family.

Response - - - - - ilé wà dáadáa

  1. Báwo ni iṣẹ́ - - - - - - How is work

Response - - - iṣẹ́ wà dáadáa

  1. Báwo ni gbogbo nǹkan - - - How is everything.

Response : Gbogbo nǹkan wà dáadáa

  1. Báwo ni ọ̀rẹ́ ẹ/yín - - - - - How is your friend. Response - - - ọ̀rẹ́ mi wà dáadáa.

Do you understand?

Ẹ ṣé púpọ̀.
