Looking for practical Yoruba to Qeqchi phrases? This free guide lists 100 essential sentences for travel, study, work, and everyday conversation. Each line shows the Yoruba phrase first, then the Qeqchi translation (Qeqchi) — so you can scan quickly before a trip, class, or video call.
The phrases are grouped into eight topics: greetings and pleasantries, useful phrases for travellers, everyday conversation, directions and getting around, shopping and dining, emergencies and health, work and business, and time, days and numbers. Use the table of contents to jump straight to greetings, directions, dining, emergencies, or numbers. You do not need perfect grammar to start — short, clear sentences often work better than silence when you are learning Qeqchi.
Tip: read the Qeqchi line out loud three times, then cover the Yoruba side and try to recall the meaning — repetition builds memory faster than silent reading.
