Your Xhosa: Siyaqondana! = We understand each other! Listen & learn:

Listen on Posterous

WORD PARTS:

Si = we,

qond = understand,

ana = each other.

 

Hoping you have many opportunites to use this one!

 

Good luck with the Q click. It is made by sucking / releasing the tongue from the middle of the palate and hitting it sharply down. It has a popping sound. You could perhaps ask a Xhosa speaker for help with it and / or listen to Zoliswa on the audio file. It’s a great sound to make.

 

Enjoy!
