what does it mean when a girl texts me the word Alaye?

Is she from Nigeria

Hey, googled it.


What does the word Alaye mean? Is it considered a language?
The term “alaye” has several meanings, ranging from American slang to Nigerian Yuba. Let’s go over that one at a pace. The word “alaye” in Nigerian Yuba means either “Thug” or “Very Powerful Person,” depending on how you use it.

In America, “Alaye” refers to a scholarly individual with people skills and expertise. What precisely are “street smarts?” “The expertise and understanding required to deal with possible challenges or perils of urban residence.” People involved in some form of illegal movement generally develop street smarts.

Seems Google is undecided .. says also the word is a code used by scammers . I guess the context of what she said before the word is likely more relevant as to what she meant .

she only text Alaye

Google translate told me "Alaye" is Yoruba for "Explain".

I, too, have heard that if you see that, its most likely a scammer. Tread cautiously

That's all she texted you? Just Alaye?

Ask her.

Alaye ! in Cuban ( Castilian ) language means " I am going for a short period of Time SEE YOU AGAIN...

Unless Cuban Spanish is your first language, can you show a website link to support your definition of alaye?

Yes !! Basel thanks for your comments

I already know the meaning of "alaye", and the logic implication of your sarcastic reply is that your definition is erroneous.
