TOP DEFINITION
(Yoruba proverb) Literally 'Willingness to overlook makes the soul of love last long.' It means that tolerance and forgiveness are what allow love to endure. In other words, overlooking faults (not dwelling on every mistake) is key to a lasting relationship.
"A mother might advise her son, 'Àmójúkúrò ni í mú ẹ̀mí ìfẹ́ gùn' – ifẹ to tọ́ jù, sugụ lẹ́kọ; suuru ló mú kí ifẹ́ pẹ. (Translation: Remember, willingness to overlook is what makes love endure – true love is sweet, but patience is what makes it last.)"
