The word is the short-hand of 'oku salayo', which means 'what remains is' . Regardless of all facts presented before me, I reiterate that my misinformed, obscure perspective is still valid whether you like it or not.
Ok'salayo can be followed by an insult or swear word e.g. If you and your exGirlfriend/Boyfried dated for 10 years and break up then he/she marries someone in less than 6 months, as the ex you can say “Ok’salayo batohlukana” meaning “they will break up anyway”
Ok’salayo can also be used by an individual to express how much settled they are about something e.g. “noma ngimubi Ok’salayo ukhetse mine” meaning “even though I’m ugly he/she chose me”
Even soccer fanatics like to use the word e.g. “even though our team Kaizer Chiefs stayed weeks and weeks on number 7 on the PSL log, people calling us 7deLaan (a South African Afrikaans soap opera)Ok’salayo we are the best team with good players”
