Yoruba edit

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.

Derived terms edit
  • dedeèdè (all without exception (Ìkálẹ̀))
