How do you say What is wrong with in Yoruba language?

There are several ways to say "What is wrong with" in Yoruba, depending on the context and nuance you want to convey:

Formal/Neutral:

* Kí ni ó ṣẹ̀ sí? (Ki ni o se si?) - This is the most direct translation and is generally suitable for most situations.

Informal/More Casual:

* Kí ló ṣẹ̀ sí? (Ki lo se si?) - This is a shortened version of the formal phrase and is more casual.

* Kí ló ṣẹ́ lára...? (Ki lo se lara...?) - This specifically asks what is wrong with someone's health or well-being.

Expressing Concern:

* Kí ló ń ṣẹ̀ sí...? (Ki lo n se si...?) - This adds a sense of ongoing trouble or worry.

* Kí ló ń ṣẹ́ lára...? (Ki lo n se lara...?) - Similar to the above, but specifically asks what is wrong with someone's health in an ongoing sense.

Other Variations:

* Kí ló ṣẹ̀...? (Ki lo se...?) - This is a more general question asking what's wrong, without specifying.

* Kí ló ṣẹ̀ sí...? (Ki lo se si...?) - This can be used in more accusatory situations, implying that there is something wrong with the person or situation.

Remember to:

* Use the appropriate tone and context when saying these phrases.

* Add the relevant noun/pronoun after the phrase, for example: "Kí ló ṣẹ̀ sí óun?" (What's wrong with him?)

* Consider using the plural form if asking about multiple things, for example: "Kí ló ṣẹ̀ sí wọn?" (What's wrong with them?)

These are just a few examples, and the best way to understand the nuances is to hear and use the language in context.
