Yorùbá Days and Time

Learning the Days of the Week in Yorùbá Language is an important step toward speaking the language in everyday life. Yorùbá not only names each day, but also uses special words for time references like òní (today),  ọ̀la (tomorrow), and àná (yesterday). On this page, you’ll explore the days from Monday (ọjọ́-ajé) through Sunday (ọjọ́-àìkú), along with practical terms that help you talk about events in the past, present, and future. With these words, you will be able to ask and answer questions about time, plan activities, and carry on natural conversations in Yorùbá.
