RE: The Culture We Carry in Our Blood
So the word is ese? Your s is “sh” and that’s why you pronounce Asake as Ashake. Ohhh makes so much sense.
The whole reason behind the kneeling down is actually very beautiful, I now get it. I always had my eyebrows raised anytime I saw these things in movies.

Yesssss. In the Yoruba alphabet, we have "s", but we also have "sh". For instance, to say "What did you say" in Yoruba is "Kilo so" -- the "so" here is actually the normal "s"
While some other "s" are pronounced "sh" 😅
It's easier to learn when you're amongst people who speak the language.
Indeed it is. Every culture has some beautiful meaning to it.
I also recently just learned that "Memulo" is actually a thing in SA. Do you do something similar in Ghana?
