boye/bongo
BO-ye
thus
French: ainsi / comme ça
Ezali kaka boye.
It is just like that.
C'est juste comme ça.
Thus — "like that," the shrug or the verdict. Boye (and bongo) mean thus, so, like that. "Ezali boye" — that's'how it is — can close an argument or accept a fate; a small word that frames how things stand.
