How do you say Hello my friend in Yoruba language?

There are a couple of ways to say "Hello my friend" in Yoruba, depending on the level of formality and the gender of your friend:

Formal:

* "E ka bo o, ore mi" (pronounced: eh kah boh oh, oh-ray mee) - This is a more respectful way to greet a friend. "E ka bo o" is a general greeting meaning "Hello" and "ore mi" means "my friend."

Informal:

* "Mo ki o, ore mi" (pronounced: moh kee oh, oh-ray mee) - This is a more casual way to greet a friend. "Mo ki o" means "Hello" and "ore mi" means "my friend."

* "Ore mi, e ku ile o" (pronounced: oh-ray mee, eh koo ee-leh oh) - This is a very friendly greeting meaning "Hello my friend, welcome."

Note:

* You can use "ore" instead of "ore mi" if you're not very close to the friend.

* For a female friend, you can use "orebinrin mi" (pronounced: oh-ray-bin-rin mee) instead of "ore mi".

Choose the phrase that best suits the context and your relationship with the person you're greeting.
