How do you say I would like to invite dinner in Yoruba language?

There are a few ways to say "I would like to invite you to dinner" in Yoruba, depending on the level of formality and the context:

Formal:

* Mo fẹ́ pè ọ́ sí ìgbà ìjẹ́un alẹ́: (Mo fe pe o si igbà ijeun alẹ) This is the most literal and formal way to say it. It means "I would like to invite you to dinner."

Informal:

* Mo fẹ́ pè ọ́ láti jẹun alẹ́ pẹ̀lú mi: (Mo fe pe o lati jeun alẹ pelu mi) This means "I would like to invite you to eat dinner with me."

* Ṣé o lè wá jẹun alẹ́ pẹ̀lú mi?: (Se o le wa jeun alẹ pelu mi?) This is a more direct invitation, asking "Can you come eat dinner with me?"

Adding politeness:

* You can add "jọ̀wọ́" (jowọ) to any of the above phrases, meaning "please," to make it more polite. For example: "Mo fẹ́ pè ọ́ sí ìgbà ìjẹ́un alẹ́ jọ̀wọ́."

Example of using it in a conversation:

Friend: "Bó ti wù kí ó rí, mo ní láti lọ sí ilé." (Bo ti wu ki o ri, mo ni lati lo si ile) - "Anyway, I have to go home."

You: "Ṣé o lè wá jẹun alẹ́ pẹ̀lú mi jọ̀wọ́?" (Se o le wa jeun alẹ pelu mi jowọ?) - "Can you come eat dinner with me please?"

Remember to consider the context and your relationship with the person you are inviting when choosing the most appropriate phrase.
