How To Analyze A Culturally Nigerian Name by tpiar: 9:18pm On Apr 06, 2020 |
Usually many Nigerian names consist of multiple words joined together. To get the meaning, you understand the order in which they are arranged, as well as the interpretation of the mini words themselves. These could be nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives, you name it. Chances of misinterpretation are very high for non native speakers or if someone does not have an indepth understanding of the specific language, especially Yoruba. |
