Oro oruko tó bá sáájú nínú gbólóhùn má n sise

The noun that comes first in a sentence acts as the subject. This subject is called “oluwa” in Yoruba grammar.

Other parts like “abo” or “eyán” serve different functions in sentences. The first position belongs to the subject.

Understanding subject position helps you build correct Yoruba sentences. The subject always comes before the verb.
