warrior101:

"Toro" as used in aye toro? I doubt if that can pass as Peace. More like Blizz to me.

i already corrected myself. Tooro is calm, not necessarily peace.

killuminati: I no be yoruba boy but I know say...'Ifokan'bale' means 'peace of mind'. So if 'peace of mind' is 'ifokan'bale', the 'ifokan' should be 'peace'.

ifokan is state of mind.

Dawdy: Alaafia peace
Ifokanbale rest of mind
Ire fortune
Ibukun/aLUBARIKA blessing

correct, mostly.

Udo ka anyi na akpo ya na asusu anyi. Ndewonu ooo.

emem in efik n ibibio, oreng in ejagham in cross river state.

Tiv: bem

Urhobo- Ufuoma

God is so great...

Peace - Bem in Tiv

alexola20: Kini a npe ni "ifokanbale" ni ede yoruba.

I think "peace" should be simply translated to "ifokanbale"in yoruba language.

Peace.

Peace also means ifokanbale when you're talking about an individual's peaceful state of mind.

But peace in general . . . .i.e world peace. . . . then it's alaafia.

I.e Mo wa ni alaafia. . . .I'm in peace.

Alaafia la wa. . . . we're in peace or wellbeing

Lets go back 2 learn eko ede yoruba.
In ma own side Piss is ikim while peace is Emem......

Ayonete or Alafia in Ebira.

peace -- Rajunor

Bahumono language in Cross River State

Yornandrew: Emem-Ibibio, Alafia-Yoruba, Khuerhe khuerhe-Edo,

I don't know the meaning in other Languages

Peace means 'tok ikim' in Ibibio nt Emem

Peace in Fulfulde (Fulani language) is "jam"

Jam tun or Jam tan (peace only or only peace).

"A walli jam?" - Did you spend the night in peace? technically it means good morning in Fulfulde.

"Noy bade ma?" - "How is your family?" you respond "jam sago" "they are well", or "they are living peacefully"

Fulaman198: Peace in Fulfulde (Fulani language) is "jam"

Jam tun or Jam tan (peace only or only peace).

"A walli jam?" - Did you spend the night in peace? technically it means good morning in Fulfulde.

"Noy bade ma?" - "How is your family?" you respond "jam sago" "they are well", or "they are living peacefully"

You forgot to add noy nagge? Which means how is your cattle isn't that your favorite alaraini?

@fulaman..

Jam is lafiya in hausa but I think lafiya is not the right word for peace, don't you think "aminci" is the right word? Just asking

Noy nagge ma? would be the proper way of asking how are your cattle

Either of those could be used, aminci probably the better one of the two because Lafiya means good typically which in fulfulde would be woodi.

Yoruba_Omoge:

Peace also means ifokanbale when you're talking about an individual's peaceful state of mind.

But peace in general . . . .i.e world peace. . . . then it's alaafia.

I.e Mo wa ni alaafia. . . .I'm in peace.

Alaafia la wa. . . . we're in peace or wellbeing

Ìrẹ̀ or ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ can also mean peace. Ìfarabalẹ̀ can also be used as already mentioned when talking about a state of mind.

Peaceful - onírẹ̀lẹ̀ (person), jẹ́jẹ́ etc.

Àlàáfíà is not an original Yoruba word, and it doesn't really mean peace. It's better to avoid the word.

Mo ni ifokanbale I have peace
Mo ni alaafia I have peace
Ilu tooro The town is peaceful.

Ifokanbale literally means my heart is resting on the ground. It is the Yoruba word for peace. It can be used for individuals and even a community.
Alaafia is also used. It is now part of Yoruba vocab but it obviously is not an original Yoruba word. Probably Arabic or Hausa. The Yoruba is ifokanbale

[quote author=NegroNtns post=14800970]

lol! thank you but google cannot teach me my tongue. yoruba has no function for health. we talk about balance....wellbeing!

alafia - wellbeing
ayesi - honor
ibukun - blessing
ere - success
ola - prosperity

ire - peace
[Peace is Alafia not ire, ire means goodness or blessing like ire akaari. Jesus is refered to the Prince of peace and the yoruba version calls Him Omoba alade alafia. Peace can also be tooro or bale as in fiokan bale]
