Yoruba

Etymology 1

[edit]

Cognate with Itsekiri dede, Ọ̀wọ̀ Yoruba gede, Olukumi gèdè, Èkìtì Yoruba kete, Ìdànrè Yoruba kete, Western Àkókó Yoruba kete

Pronunciation

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

dede

  1. (Ijebu, Ikalẹ, Ilajẹ, Ondo, Ẹgba) all, everything, everyone
    Ọlọ́un á kẹ́ dede ẹniGod will care for all of us (Ijebu)
Usage notes
[edit]

This noun often looks and acts as a qualifier or determiner, and while usually before nouns, can occasionally come after. Some examples:

  • Dede olùkù mi fẹ́ràn ẹ̀bà jíjẹ.All of my friends love to eat eba.
  • Ìgbà dedeAll the time

However, it is not a traditional adjective as when it's combined with subject pronouns, it becomes ungrammatical and must be used with the possessive pronouns, showing that it's a noun in the spoken varieties of the Èdè-Yorùbá-Ìṣẹkírì continuum. An example:

  • Dede ẹni yún Èkó.All of us went to Lagos.

In the example above, the possessive pronoun, ẹni (our), instead of a (we), as Dede a yún Èkó would be ungrammatical.
