WORD PARTS:
Tyhini = expression of surprise,
thiza = similar to Gosh,
Nkosi = Lord (also ‘chief”),
yam = my.
I need this phrase today! How about you?!
The TYH sounds similar to the CH as in CHEESE, (and you’ll get away with this) but more correctly the movement of the tongue releases on the palate.
Enjoy the listen and repeat with Zoliswa.
