Kin ni 420 ni Yoruba?

In Yoruba, “okoo” means twenty times twenty, which is 400. “Nirinwo” also means 400. Then you add “le” which means plus. So 400 plus 20 equals 420.

Yoruba uses a base-twenty counting system. This is different from the base-ten system in English. You count in groups of twenty instead of ten.

Learning Yoruba numbers takes practice. Remember that larger numbers are built from multiples of twenty with additions.
