How do you say welcome in Yoruba?

"Welcome" in Yoruba can be said in a few different ways, depending on the context and level of formality:

* E kaabo: This is the most common and general way to say "welcome." It's appropriate for most situations.

* E ku ile: This is a more formal greeting that literally means "Welcome home." It's often used when someone is visiting your house or a place they consider familiar.

* E seun: This means "Thank you," but it can also be used as a way of welcoming someone, especially when they have done something nice for you.

It's worth noting that "e" is a prefix that indicates plurality in Yoruba, so you can also say "kaabo" to one person.

Here's a breakdown of how to use each greeting:

* E kaabo: "Welcome" (general greeting)

* E ku ile: "Welcome home" (more formal, for visiting someone's home or a familiar place)

* E seun: "Thank you" (can be used as a welcome, especially when someone has done something nice)

Remember that these are just a few examples, and there are other ways to say "welcome" in Yoruba depending on the specific context.
