Thank you so much for all time and effort you have put into making these videos. I have found them amazingly helpful! There is definitely a shortage of well explained beginners isiXhosa, especially in video form. Please continue! :)
Very good lessons sir. I love them so much. In most cases in isiXhosa you have few scenarios where the continuous tenses are used. So the word 'ya' is representing a continuous tense. Like for example Ndiyafunda - I am learning Ndifunda - I learn. Ndiyahamba nawe - I am walking with you. (present continuous tense) Ndihamba nawe - I walk with you. (present tense)
Thank you. I think that we are often tempted to compare tenses (or any grammatical aspect for that matter) to those we are taught in school, in English, but they might not be the best lens to describe that language with. I feel that -ya- or the long and short form of Xhosa verbs (past and present tenses) reflect more a sense of whether the action (with long form) or the object/manner (with short form) are emphasised.
I learned so much in this lesson. Enkos' kakhulu!
I enjoyed the lesson, thanks S-man!
