Can we also use gxumukela figuratively? For example can I say "I gxumukela'ed into a debate", meaning "I chipped into a discussion". Pardon my limited vocabulary, I would have loved to say that purely in IsiNdebele. Ngiyabonga!

[@learnzimndebele]

Yes indeed, you would say Ngagxumukela kumpikiswano (coming from the Verb ukuphikisa-to disagree)

So, UMondli wangigxoba means Mondli stepped over me?
