Many people don't know the correct Yoruba names for different time sessions we have in twenty-four hours a day; this has made many to greet elderly ones incorrectly and it is very bad. Take for instance, many people often referred 10am-12noon as morning, and they will greet people as “E ka ro o” (pronounced Helk Her Ror). This is a great blunder as 10am-12noon is no longer morning.
On this website today, we shall be showcasing names of different time sessions in Yoruba Language. After this lesson, be rest assured that committing blunder of time-session naming will be of past. Shall we dive in?
