Here goes!
*A quick note: the phrases will be without tones until I can get some clarification as to what they are.
Please forgive my beginner learner ways!*
Kilo de? [Why?]
Kilo de ti…? [Why…?]
Ki ni…?/ Kilo…? [What…?]
Bawo ni…?/Bawo l’…? [How…?]
Nigba wo ti…? [When…?]
Aago meloo ni…? [What time/ when…?]
Tani…? [Who?]
Tani e? [Who is that?]
Nibo…wa? [Where is…situated?]
….da? [Where is…?]
…wo ni…? [Which…do…?]
As you can see, far more than 6 Ws, but nonetheless super useful.
These should get you on your way to asking some questions.
I believe these days I have been improving a lot, but I don’t know everything, so when in doubt I bring in the English.
I use phrases and vocabulary that I am certain of in conversations with my parents and ended with sentences that are a Yoruba/English hybrid, to avoid frustrations.
For example,
Kilo dé ti ẹ fẹ́ call orẹ́ yÃn?
[why do you want to call your friend?]
It is not perfect but I move forward this way.
Anyways, I hope you are enjoying this
