Describing People

Talking about different seasons

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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
