Then you&#8217;re just on the right page. Read on.<\/p>\n<p>First, bear in mind that there is no single generally-agreed-upon translation for the word &#8220;hello&#8221; in Yoruba language. However, since the word &#8220;hello&#8221; is used as a form of greeting, I&#8217;ll teach you a number of different ways to greet people in Yoruba that have the same meaning as &#8220;hello&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The following greetings can be used at any time of the day to greet someone &#8220;hello&#8221; in Yoruba language:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>E nle o. (To sound more respectful to elderly people, say &#8220;E nle ma&#8221; or &#8220;E nle sir&#8221; depending on the gender).<\/li>\n<li>E pele o. (For elderly people, say &#8220;E pele ma&#8221; or &#8220;E pele sir&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>E rora o. (For elderly people, say &#8220;E rora ma&#8221; or &#8220;E rora sir&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>E ku ishe o (most appropriate for greeting someone who is busy with something). To elders, say &#8220;E ku ishe ma&#8221; or &#8220;E ku ishe sir&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>E ku ikale o (most appropriate for greeting someone who&#8217;s sitting down or relaxed). To elders, say &#8220;E ku ikale ma&#8221; or &#8220;E ku ikale sir&#8221;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The following greetings are used specifically at certain times of the day to greet people in Yoruba language:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>E kaaro o &#8212; meaning good morning (Say &#8220;E kaaro ma\/sir&#8221; to elders).<\/li>\n<li>E kaasan o &#8212; meaning good afternoon (Say &#8220;E kaasan ma&#8221; to elders).<\/li>\n<li>E ku irole o &#8212; meaning good evening &#8212; used between 4pm and 7pm (say &#8220;E ku irole ma\/sir&#8221; to elders).<\/li>\n<li>E kaale o &#8212; meaning good evening &#8212; used at night time, after 7pm onwards (say &#8220;E kaale ma\/sir&#8221; to elders).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope this helps.
