Oba Yo! Comfort Cut T
Oba yo! (Oba jo!) The emphatic two word Mennonite response that has resonated throughout the ages. Meaning; Absolutely! Oh, yes! Certainly! Most obviously! The assumed connotation; It should almost go without saying because there can be only one clear answer! This most famous Plautdietsch phrase offers your endorsement to anything at all, that you completely and whole-heartedly agree with and approve of, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind that your answer is far more than just a simple “yo”.
We don’t know who first uttered the famous phrase of positive agreement. Was it Menno Simons' wife, when she was asked her if she needed help cleaning the house, mending clothes, cooking, gardening, preparing faspa, sewing, baking, washing, bringing in firewood, clearing the supper table, changing diapers or teaching their children to read and write.?.? Did Menno ask. “fält die halp”? Mrs Simon’s response must surely have been “oba yo!” in a most astonishing and welcoming way!
