Explanation:
* Bí ó bá - If it
* gbé àkókò méjì - takes time (literally "takes two times")
You can replace "méjì" with a specific number, or with expressions like "ìgbà díẹ̀" (a short time), "àkókò gígùn" (a long time), etc.
Here are some examples:
* Bí ó bá gbé àkókò méjì? - How long does it take to get there?
* Bí ó bá gbé àkókò díẹ̀? - How long does it take to get there? (short time)
* Bí ó bá gbé àkókò gígùn? - How long does it take to get there? (long time)
This phrase is a direct translation of the English phrase "How long does it take to get there?". It is a commonly used phrase in Yoruba and is understood by most speakers.
