• IPA^(key): /dē.dē/

dede

1. (Ijebu, Ikalẹ, Ilajẹ, Ondo, Ẹgba) all, everything, everyone

   Ọlọ́un á kẹ́ dede ẹni ― God will care for all of us (Ijebu)

This noun often looks and acts as a qualifier or determiner, and while usually before nouns, can occasionally come after. Some examples:

• Dede olùkù mi fẹ́ràn ẹ̀bà jíjẹ. ― All of my friends love to eat eba.
• Ìgbà dede ― All the time

However, it is not a traditional adjective as when it's combined with subject pronouns, it becomes ungrammatical and must be used with the possessive pronouns, showing that it's a noun in the spoken varieties of the Èdè-Yorùbá-Ìṣẹkírì continuum. An example:

• Dede ẹni yún Èkó. ― All of us went to Lagos.

In the example above, the possessive pronoun, ẹni (“our”), instead of a (“we”), as Dede a yún Èkó would be ungrammatical.

Compare with Ifè ǹɖe

dède

1. (Ekiti) Alternative form of dìde (“to stand, get up, rise”)
