How do you say I love in Yoruba language?

There are a few ways to say "I love" in Yoruba, depending on the context and the level of formality:

Formal:

* Mo nifẹ́ ẹ (moh ni-feh eh) - This is the most common and formal way to say "I love you." It literally translates to "I love you."

* Mo nifẹ́ rẹ̀ (moh ni-feh reh) - This is used when referring to someone of higher social status, or someone you are being respectful to. It literally translates to "I love him/her."

Informal:

* Mo fẹ́ ẹ (moh feh eh) - This is a more casual way of saying "I love you." It's a shorter version of "Mo nifẹ́ ẹ".

* Mo fẹ́ rẹ̀ (moh feh reh) - Similar to the formal version, this is used for someone of higher social status, but in a more informal way.

Romantic:

* Mo nifẹ́ ẹ̀ (moh ni-feh eh) - This is a more romantic way to say "I love you". It uses a slightly different pronunciation than the formal version.

It's important to note that in Yoruba culture, expressing love directly, especially in romantic contexts, is not always common. It's often conveyed through actions and gestures rather than explicit words.

Remember to choose the appropriate phrase based on the context and your relationship with the person you are speaking to.
