Phrase Breakdown:
Yho! - An expression meaning "Yho!" or "Gosh", or "wow!"
Imini - the day, or daytime
inhle - it is beautiful, specific to nouns in group 9 (i.e. starting with in)
Pronounciation Guide:
- Must be pronounced with vigour - listen to audio file for example
- hle is not pronounced "shle". Start with a Sh sound and then press the tongue against the pallette. Spit and air should come out on either side of the tongue. This is correct. It should sound like the welsh pronunciation of Llandudno, or Llanelly. Hllllllll.
Now listen to the audio file for proper pronunciation of hl.
