I fell in love with tshiluba over six years ago, and I am finally happy to have a learning resource. I hope to speak fluently in six months and I can show off to someone I know
+caligula julius Aww thank you for requesting that. However, I'm not strong in Lingala. Sorry. So it's only Tshiluba for now, from me. Thanks and blessings.
In lingala also😊 Many linguist say that all Bantu languages are ONE but it sounds different because it spread around Africa by Bantu peoples, each tribe develop its own unique style, sounds and particularity but when you study all of them, you will see how close each Bantu languages are, not because it look the same but for the fact that this is ONE LANGUAGE.
Wow.. In Kimbundu (language spoken in certain provinces in the northern part of Angola) thank you is also "tuasakidila"! So amazing to see all these connection between Bantu languaeges. I love Africa and its people.
Thank you for this! I really appreciate for taking your time to do help us out. I've tried so hard to learn Tshiluba through my elders but it has been nearly impossible and then I found this account. Wonderful!
+Marilyne M I'm very happy you found my account. Please take advantage of it and surprise your elders with phrases you've learned. And thank you for the compliment, Marilyne M! Enjoy
ohh GOD bless richly the person who came up with this idea, I came out of my country the congo too young it is now 20 years that i am in canada but i die every day of a burning desire to learn the language of my ancestors who can imagine the joy that i have to see this course on youtube it makes me cry of emotion s
So happy to hear and read your excitement. This channel is the first channel to have started teaching Tshiluba on RUclips. So we appreciate you too. It's much needed for many people. Keep learning! LC
Hello Thank you sister! I am a fellow Maluba living in the USA. It's interesting to note that Lala which means to sleep in Tshiluba is also found in Lulliby which refers to music that makes people sleepy in English. It is so fascinating to see that Tshiluba has made an impression even on the English language.
In lingala also😊 Many linguist say that all Bantu languages are ONE but it sounds different because it spread around Africa by Bantu peoples, each tribe develop its own unique style, sounds and particularity but when you study all of them, you will see how close each Bantu languages are, not because it look the same but for the fact that this is ONE LANGUAGE.
+cumensu Yes it is what you think it is- Tshiluba lessons! I'm glad now you have these resources. Hope my videos can assist your learning and practicing. Enjoy!
Thank you so much! The older I got the more I came to realize that I really love the way Tshiluba sounds. My mom always used to speak Tshiluba to family members on the phone and would never understand a thing😅. Speaking lingala is easy, now its time to learn Tshiluba. Proud Muluba🇨🇩❤️
Like that! Some similarities with KAKO (CAR, Cameroon & possible Congo Brazza): I = me (or mi); You = we; He or She = nye; We = (wu)se; You (pl) =(wu)ne; They = bo; With Beti-fang (Cameroon, Gabon, eq. Guinea): I = ma; You =wa; He or She = A; Him or Her = nye; We= biya; You (pl) = bina; they = ba; them = bo
You did a great job, my dear. Is there any way you can make a cartoon for our babies like i saw Nigeria people with their Oyibo language? Au lieu de suivre Coco melon nos enfants peuvent suivre ca
Muana wetu udi mu djitunga kaayi? (Son what coubtry are you in?) The answer to your question is( Ndi ( I'am) Ne (with) Disanka (happiness) Bua ( for) Ku ku manya( to know you) in on sentence; Ndi ne disanka dia ku kumaya. Tuasakidila (Thank you)
That's so cool to know. How amazing are the connections between the Bantu languages. Now looking forward to hear how Kaonde and Lunda sound. Thanks for sharing!
+Luba Classboard Thanks. 😊😊.I'm a Nigerian but I like learning languages. Maybe when I'm done learning Lingala, I will move on to Tshiluba then Kikongo. Thanks once again.
Oh wowe that's amazing and very inspiring. Thank you so much. I wish you the best with Lingala, and Tshiluba next (when you can). Do you live in the Congo-Kinshasa?
In Lingala "lala ” means sleep as well😀 You know what it is great about learning Bantu languages? The more you learn few of them the easier it gets🤷🏾♀️ Many linguists say that all Bantu languages are ONE but it sounds different because it spread around Africa by Bantu peoples, each tribe develop its own unique style, sounds and particularity but when you study all of them, you will see how close each Bantu languages are, not because it looks the same but for the fact that this is ONE LANGUAGE. By learning Kikongo you will get easier and faster in learning others Bantu languages (like lingala, swahili, Zulu): why because it’s the root of all Bantu languages according to African linguistics; some even find direct links with Kikongo and Latin languages, African linguists also think that Kikongo is THE MOTHER OF ALL LANGUAGES‼️😊
Hello! Are you asking in terms of the singular word "you"? You can replace with "wewa", when talking to one person. For example, you come = wewa luaku When talking to 2 or more people , You (plural) = Neunu. Thank you! Enjoy
@@lubaclassboard my bad i was asking that when i was newer at learning tshiluba. I was trying to tell an elder nzambi ikala neunu. And she corrected me and told me it was neba. I didnt understand why until last month in my learnings i found out when you say “with (pronoun) “ The conjugation is different lol
Hello! That's absolutely correct "my" is "wanyi". You would see this on further up lessons ex. Lesson 20. It can also take different forms ex. tshianyi, bianyi...depending on what is being described., see lesson 34 Important Pronouns. Mulunda wanyi=My friend Tshibuta tshianyi= My bag Bilamba bianyi= My clothes (plural). These Word Agreements are Lesson12. Thank you for your questions. Keep learning!
There's a language called tshivenda in south africa..venda people are traced back from congo. Someone must research about these two tribes i see similarities in their languages
Wow, thank you for sharing this news. It's lovely to know that Venda people are traced back to Congo. I knew of other South African tribe(s) being traced as such but wasn't aware for Vendas. Upon you message, I read and saw that Tshivenda is closely related to Tshiluba and other Congo languages. A research would be awesome. Will be doing more readings, too. Have a great day and thanks again!!
I don't think you understand how much I appreciate this right now! Thank you for taking the time out to create these lessons 😊
We are really happy to hear that and it's a pleasure. So glad these lessons will help out. TC.

Like that! Some similarities with KAKO (CAR, Cameroon & possible Congo Brazza): I = me (or mi); You = we; He or She = nye; We = (wu)se; You (pl) =(wu)ne; They = bo;
With Beti-fang (Cameroon, Gabon, eq. Guinea): I = ma; You =wa; He or She = A; Him or Her = nye; We= biya; You (pl) = bina; they = ba; them = bo
We're all Bantus
Good to read. Thank you so much for sharing. The similarities are strong within our Bantu languages. Thank you!

i’m learning this bc of my mom and kaku all they speak is tshiluba and lingala
That's beautiful. Glad to hear your motivation. Keep going and impress them!
This is a tough one! Guess Lingala is about the easiest language to learn in DRC.
+Clementine mmm Sorry to hear that, however, keep tuning in it would get easier with time. It's a beautiful fun language that needs dedication. Best!

+Luba Classboard Thank you. No, I live in Lagos,Nigeria. What about you?
+Clementine Nice. That's cool. If you go for business/a visit in the Congo, those languages would help you a lot!!!! best wishes I'm from the Congo.

What is "my" in Tshiluba? Is it "wanyi"?

It can also take different forms ex. tshianyi, bianyi...depending on what is being described., see lesson 34 Important Pronouns.

It is "difika dilenga" or "difika dimpa" (bienvenu).
Difika= Arrival (venu), dilenga/dimpa= good; well (bien).
