| happy holidays A ku isinmi Explanation: "Isinmi" is the word for holiday(s) in Yoruba language. "A" in Yoruba is a 1st person plural personal pronoun which makes the holiday(s) all inclusive --- a state of affairs enjoyed by all, including the speaker. "ku" is serving as a connective between "A" and "isinmi". Thus, in Yoruba language, happy holidays will be literally understood to mean, "happy holidays to us all" |
