VOCABULARY LESSON

Once I get to South Africa, I will write all of my posts in Xhosa. Therefore it is important that I share some vocabulary words with you. There will be a verbal quiz on this when I get back.

One- Inye
Two-Zimbini
Three- Zintathu
Hello-Molo
Goodbye- Sala kakuhle
Passport- Incwadi yokutyelela
Where are the suitcases?- Ziphi iisutikheyisi
Ladies' toilet- Igumbi langasese lamanenekazi
Gents' toilet- Igumbi langasese lamadoda

And, as any good language learner knows, it is easier to speak a foreign language when you've had a few drinks. Therefore it is important to learn the following vocabulary:

Wine- Iwayini
Beer- Ibhiya
Water-Amanzi
Aspirin- Iasprini
