The Top 3 Yoruba Words In English. 

It is obvious that many of us don’t know the English words for some words
or phrases in our tribe/language.

We should be careful with the way we speak everyday, we all know that English
is not our mother’s tongue we all have our respective native. The words below
are very common in Yoruba language but many did not know those words in
English,  or do you know it?  Comment now. 

1. Kuli-kuli
2. Tuwo
3. Gbẹgiri

I am very sure that you like speaking English, which means that for we to look
different, unique and presentable when it comes to speaking our language into
English, we must learn to pronounce some kinds of words. For example,

Moi-Moi is called Beans pudding, I guess you know that before then

Akara is called Beans cake and also, 

Pap/Akamu is called Corn flakes.

Do you know the original English word for ILÁ? I will let You know the
original name of Okra(ilá).

This is the picture of ILÁ

Okra is nutritious with many health benefits, it is rich in magnesium, folate,
fiber and vitamin C, K1 and A. 

Okra is beneficial for pregnant woman, it also help to reduce blood sugar,
control heat health, to avoid embarrassment the original name for Okra is
Ladyfinger.

In your closet or when been at home you can call it Okra or ilá but when you
are outside you can be unique and different by calling it
Ladyfinger.
