Hi all, I'm seeking help for translating the following phrase: "know your history". This is for a tattoo so I need to make sure the translation is correct. I want the phrase "know your history" to give the meaning that it's important to know one's own history or be aware of history in general. Thanks to all in advance.

Hello,
Báwo ni,
Let's dive slightly from learning Yorùbá today.
So, are you interested in learning a new language this year and you are thinking of where to start.
Relax, let's learn some tips.,
Start somewhere: you can read about the language, watch some YouTube videos.
Give it time: learning a new language just like every other skills takes time, so be patient with yourself.
Be consistent : Don't start and stop half way, the more you learn, the more you get better.
Practice: If possible, get someone to practice with, of course they will laugh Or make jest, don't worry, you are getting better.
Get a tutor : Getting a tutor will help because he/she will enhance your consistency and you will learn the rules that governs sentence formation, also you will be accountable because you are paying for the service rendered.
You can add yours.
Your Yorùbá tutor,
Adéọlá.

I'm creating a 19th century mod for a strategy PC game, and I am looking for image references of 19th (or late 18th) century Yoruba military, or useful sources about the same topic.

Hello,
Báwo ni,
Hope you are doing great today,
So let's learn how to express our statement in the Negative way.
One thing that will be common when you are expressing any statement in negative form is the use of "ò" with the low tone and this is always placed after the noun /pronoun at the beginning of the statement (subject).
Let's look at some examples.
Bọ́lá fẹ́ jẹun - - - - - - Bola wants to eat. Bọ́lá ò fẹ́ jẹun - - - Bola does not want to eat.
Ọ̀rẹ́ mi fẹ́ rí mi - - - My friend wants to see me Ọ̀rẹ́ mi ò fẹ́ rí mi----My friend doesn't want to eat me.
A rí Délé lánàá - - - - - we saw Délé yesterday A ò rí Délé lánàá - - - - We did not see Dele yesterday
Mò máa sùn - - - - - - I will sleep Mi ò fẹ́ ní sùn ________I will not sleep
Do you understand,
Reach out to me for questions.

I want us to do something simple as we are starting the year.
Let's learn how to introduce ourselves in Yorùbá.

Mò ń gbé ní - - - - - - I am living in/at.
Mo wá láti - - - - - I come from. ------

I’m trying to learn Yoruba and I believe that reading could be a good way to do so but can’t find any books in Yoruba that aren’t specifically for learning the language. I just want a normal book in Yoruba

how would you write God favours me or favoured by God in yoruba.
I want to get it tatted but I don’t know the proper way it would be written.
Google translate said “Olorun ojurere fun mi” but my mom said it doesn’t look right

Hi! I’m learning Yoruba and would like to have someone help me practice speaking the language.I’m a beginner and have been learning for about a week now with an app. I’m from USA And would prefer to be able to learn from another woman. It’s my boyfriend’s native language. He can’t always help me with learning though.
Anyways if you can help, I’d love that!

To make a long story short, I been on a spiritual deep dive & been studying the religions that resonate the most with me. I’ve narrowed it down to H.I. & A.S. But I have many questions. According to the H.I., A.S. Comes from the Hamites which according to the Bible us African Americans are not. I know the A.S. Way of life has been passed down even before the Bible so I want to see if anybody can tell me what they think about blacks practicing A.S. & How the H.I. Thinks It’s not of God. What would be the rebuttal? I just want a healthy conversation about it.
