How do you say Good night in Yoruba language?

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

Formal:

* Ẹ̀ kú ààrẹ́ (E ku aarẹ) - This is the most formal way to say good night.

* Ààrẹ́ gbọ́dọ̀ (Aare gbo do) - This is another formal option, usually used when addressing elders or someone in a position of authority.

Informal:

* Sun rẹ́ (Sun re) - This is the most common way to say good night in informal settings.

* Sun dáadáa (Sun daadaa) - This translates to "sleep well".

* Ìrọ̀lá gbọ́dọ̀ (Irola gbo do) - This means "have a good night's rest".

You can also combine some of these phrases:

* Ààrẹ́ gbọ́dọ̀, sun rẹ́ (Aare gbo do, sun re) - This combines the formal and informal phrases for a polite greeting.

It's important to note that:

* The tone of voice and the context of the situation can affect the interpretation of the phrase.

* It's always respectful to use a more formal phrase when addressing someone older or in a position of authority.

No matter which phrase you choose, the most important thing is to convey your wish for a pleasant and restful night.
