Talking about different seasons
- If you want to say that you are cold, you say something similar to “cold is catching me”.
Otútù ń mú mi I am cold
Otútù ń mú Olú Olu is cold
Otútù ń mú wa We are cold
- Notice that you use object pronouns to replace the name of the person who is suffering from the cold
Otútù ń mú u He/She is cold
Otútù ń mú ẹ You are cold
- But if you want to simply say that the weather is cold, you remove the object pronoun
Otútù ń mú It (the weather) is cold
- Other similar expressions are:
Ooru ń mú mi I am hot
Ooru ń mú It (the weather) is hot.
Ọyẹ́ ń mú mi I am suffering from the harmattan
Ọyẹ́ ń mú There is harmattan
Òjò ń pa mi Rain is falling on me
Òjò pa ìwé mi Rain fell on my books
