How do you say thank handsome in Yoruba?

There is no direct translation of "thank handsome" in Yoruba, as the language focuses more on expressing gratitude and admiration separately.

Here are some ways to express a combination of thank you and admiration in Yoruba:

For expressing thanks:

* E se pupo (pronounced "e seh poo-poh") - Thank you very much.

* O se o (pronounced "oh seh oh") - Thank you.

For expressing admiration:

* O wa nla o (pronounced "oh wah nlah oh") - You are beautiful/handsome.

* O le o (pronounced "oh leh oh") - You are good-looking.

* O ti dara o (pronounced "oh tee dah-rah oh") - You are fine/beautiful/handsome.

Combining thanks and admiration:

* E se pupo o, o wa nla o - Thank you very much, you are handsome.

* O se o, o le o - Thank you, you are good-looking.

Note: When using these phrases, you can emphasize the admiration part with your tone of voice or by using a more elaborate phrase. For example, you could say: O wa nla o, o ti dara o, e se pupo o (You are handsome, you are fine, thank you very much)

It's important to remember that cultural contexts and personal relationships influence how compliments are expressed in any language.
