How do you say queen in Yoruba?

"Queen" in Yoruba can be translated in a few ways depending on the context:

Most common:

* Obirin ile ọba (òbírin ilé ọ̀bá): This literally means "woman of the king's house" and is the most common way to refer to a queen.

More specific:

* Iyalode: This word refers to a queen mother or a high-ranking woman in a Yoruba community.

* Obirin Aafin: This means "queen of the palace" and is used specifically for the king's wife.

Less common:

* Olori: This word literally means "head" and can be used to refer to a queen, but it's less common than the other options.

The best choice depends on the specific situation and the level of formality you're aiming for.
