Hello, I am wondering what this expression means. I think it means “It’s not just anything else…”. Does someone know this one?

Hi! More context could be helpful, but the expression X tɛ dɔwɛrɛ ye Y kɔ is often the equivalent of “X is nothing other than Y”. For example:

I tɛ dɔwɛrɛ ye fatɔ kɔ

‘You are nothing other than a crazy person’
