Verbs

Verbs can be categorized into two types: one-word verbs and two-word verbs. One-word verbs are referred to as "ọ̀fọ̀ vọgbítụ," which translates to "root verbs." These verbs are exactly what their name implies—root forms. Two-word verbs are called "yàgú vọ̀gbítụ," meaning "two verbs." These verbs are derived from root verbs.
