How do you say thank in Yoruba language?

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

Formal:

* E se o (pronounced "eh seh oh") - This is the most common and formal way to say thank you.

* O se o (pronounced "oh seh oh") - Similar to "E se o", but slightly less formal.

Informal:

* E se (pronounced "eh seh") - This is a more casual way to say thank you.

* O se (pronounced "oh seh") - Similar to "E se", but slightly less formal.

To express specific gratitude:

* Mo dupe (pronounced "moh doo-peh") - This means "I am grateful" and is a more formal way to express thanks.

* Mo dupe pupọ (pronounced "moh doo-peh poo-poh") - This means "I am very grateful" and is a more emphatic expression of thanks.

You can also add "fun" (meaning "for") after any of these expressions to specify what you are thanking the person for. For example:

* E se o fun iranlowo yi (pronounced "eh seh oh fun ee-ran-loh-woh yee") - Thank you for your help.

It's important to note that the choice of expression depends on the context and your relationship with the person you are thanking.
