Today’s episode is all about the most important part in learning to read and write the Yoruba language. Using tone marks give the reader the exact words being used in that sentence because we have words that are spelt the same way but have different meanings with different tone marks.  There are 3 tone marks used in the Yoruba language, which are placed on the vowel in the pronounced syllable  1. Low tone Do (\)  2. Middle tone Re (_) and  3. High tone Mi (/)  Using the word ‘igba’ as an example to describe how tone marks change the meaning of a word:  igba (re re) which means two hundred  igbá (re mi) which means calabash  ìgbà (do do) which means time period  ìgbá (do mi) which means garden egg  As always, this is described in more details in our activity book ‘Alifabeeti Yoruba’.
