WORD PARTS:
Ndi = I / me,
khaphe = accompany.
ie. join me / come with me.
The verb is KHAPHA, but the last vowel is changed to an E to make it an instruction “Accompany me” as apposed to “I accompany…”.
Now listen and repeat with Zoliswa on the audio file.
Thanks for learning Xhosa! 🙂

Yhu! = exclamation of surprise or just adding emphasis like Gee! (Pronounced Yoo!),
U = you / he / she,
yonqena = is / are lazy.
So “Uyonqena” can mean “You are lazy”, “He is lazy” or “She is lazy”. And Ndiyonqena = I am lazy.
Many people may seem lazy on Mondays…Enjoy your Xhosa!

WORD PARTS:
Ndi = I,
thanda = like / love,
inyani = truth.
In the dictionary the full word for truth is given as “inyaniso”, while in colloquial use, “inyani” is just as clear.
We hope you enjoy using this phrase!
