Your Xhosa Tweet: I-afro yakho intle! – Your afro is beautiful! Listen & learn:

Your Xhosa Tweet: Ndithetha isiXhosa kancinci! – I speak a little Xhosa! Listen & learn:
July 28th, 2010 xhosafundis's posterous Posted in Daily Xhosa No Comments »
WORD PARTS:
Ndi = I,
thetha = speak,
isiXhosa = Xhosa,
kancinci = a little,
Listen and repeat with Zoliswa on the audio file.
This is probably one of the most useful phrases to have as a beginner. This lets people know where you’re at with the language, especially if they start talking to you too fast in Xhosa.
Good luck!
Your Xhosa Tweet: Khawuphinde – Will you repeat. Listen & learn:
July 27th, 2010 xhosafundis's posterous Posted in Daily Xhosa No Comments »
WORD PARTS:
Kha = will (asking someone to do something),
wu = you
phinde = repeat (from ukuphinda = to repeat)
GRAMMAR: When we want to ask someone to do something, put Khawu at the front of the verb and then change the last vowel of the verb to an e. Here are some more examples:
thetha = speak,
Khawuthethe = Will you speak.
funda = to learn / read,
Khawufunde = Will you learn / read.
NOTE: The Khawu- is a neutral request. If we want to say Please will you repeat, then we can add Nceda (please) at the front of the phrase: Nceda khawuphinde.
Yonwabela! – Enjoy it!
Your Xhosa Tweet: Andikuva! – I don’t hear / understand you! Listen & learn:
July 26th, 2010 xhosafundis's posterous Posted in Daily Xhosa No Comments »
WORD PARTS:
A = negative form (don’t)
ndi = I,
ku = you,
va = hear / understand
Listen and repeat twice with Zoliswa on the audio file.
This is a very well used phrase – listen out for it – and use it whenever you don’t hear or understand what someone has says to you.
