Mwana is child, while -komana (boy) and -sikana (girl). father's brothers = bambo (father) father's older brother = babamukuru (bamukuru) father's younger brother = babamunini (bamunini) father's sister = babakadzi (aunt/female father) or tete (aunt), In Deep/Old Shona father's sister was also called "sangadzi, samukadzi, bambomukunda or babamukunda".

Ndiri mZulu, but Izvozvi ndinodzidza chiShona nekuti shamwari vangu vari vaShona. Andigonhisisi kuchitaura but i love speaking it. Really fun to discover the similarities between our languages. I wanted to say thanks for the info brav. Ndikutenda zvikuru🙏❤️🔥. It's really amazing to know all this
Thank you guys! You do our country a great service! Breaking down walls and building bridges :) Sometimes it feels like all ubuntu is lost but people like you remind us that ubuntu still lives.
Well done, remember there are minimum of 5 Shona dialects, some more similar to Nguni languages some less. Some influenced by Ndebele languages words like Mfana, Bhudi, Sisi, etc.
1. Mhoroi - Molweni 2.mhama - mama 3.hanzvanzi - mukoma 4. Babakadzi, tete, taita(father side), mainini,(mother side) 5.munhu wangu -umntu wani 6. Unosevenza kupi- where do you work 7. Funda is also learning in shona- sport 8. Mitambo sport 9.
I’d like to add that similar to xhosa, shona has different names for the aunts on your mother’s side and father’s side as well. Tete : is used for you father’s sisters. Mainini/amainini is used for your mother’s side it means “little mother” this how you refer to your mother’s younger sister/s (If you think of the word kancinci in Xhosa it makes sense) Maiguru: means big mother this is how you refer to you mother’s older sister/s. For the uncles : Your mother’s brother : is Sekuru The reason for sekuru (uncle on mother’s side) and sekuru ( grandfather ) being the same ) is because you are considered a grandchild to your mother’s clan and not a child per say. They lower you in rank as you are not part of their clan. Your father’s younger brother/s is : Babamunini You father’s older brother/s is : Babamukuru or Ba mukuru. Love this channel so much…..I’m trying to learn Xhosa and this is place of inspiration for me.
@freelance teaching. What does the name Tawanda mean(a person's name) I so love this name. I've had it means 'a lot' but I did not really get it. Can you try to give me a little bit of context on this name. My first boy child is going Tawanda😂😂😂
@@sakelembali5352 Tawanda means "we are now many" literally. To simplify it means a welcome addition to the family. I think "Wandile" is the same meaning as Tawanda.
Ummm can i chip in on Brothers and sisters in shona, Sister= Sisi/ Hanzvadzi, then Brother = Mkoma Aunty from father's side Tete, from mother's side mainini
If you do not know that a brother is Mukome in Shona, then there is an issue right there, hanzwadzi is sister, or brother, and of course you can say bhudi or Sisi, depending where you are from in Zim, the Midlands is where the transition from Ndebele to Shona/Katanga etc happens. I recommend more research before embarking on another session. But good enough, I appreciate the effort, all in good faith.
I can speak, understand and write both Ndebele and Shona. If you know Ndebele, you will understand Xhosa and Zulu. Shona has similarities with Venda, Kalanga and Nambya. There are also many common words with Kinyarwanda, the language spoken in Rwanda.
I want to help my sister from zimbabwe cz I hear she couldn't understand exactly shone language I think she speaks ndebele brother is mukoma / sister is sisi
Aunti is tata in kikuyu from kenya khosa is similar to seswana because they also say wena meaning you. The ndembele say konjane skona almost like khosa.
Us is ISU - ---- Sister is Mukoma, Brother is Hanzvanzi- Your father's sister is TETE, your mother's sisters are Maiguru(older) Mainini (younger sister)
Mhoroi ndiko kumhoresa...makadii ndiko kubvunza kuti how are...imi vemazuva ano ndimi motanga kuti makadii asi chinotanga kuti mhoroi which is similar to molweni
I used to take saying: Da De Di Do Du for granted as a Shona. People say: Dha Dhe Dhi Dho Dhu😂😂😂 Some slight corrections Word = shoko Us = isu Tese = together Older Sibling = Mukoma (brothers = bhudhi) Younger sibling = munin'ina Aunties 😮😂😂 Tete = your father's sister Mainini = mother's younger sister Maiguru = mother's older sister Grandmother = mbuya (mother in law ambuya)😂😂 The Shona girl is not a native speaker
yes it is, I always get so surprised. I was listening to Makhadzi's song "Kulakwe" and these lines made me pause. "Mungana wanu ni muvhudze nne ndi funesa deep kiss Funesa deep kiss, funesa deep kiss Ende futhi ni muvhudze nne ndi funesa honeymoon" in Shona it would be "Mungani wenyu mu muvudze ini ndinodisa deep kiss disa deep kiss, disa deep kiss ende futi mu muvudze ini ndinodisa honeymoon" The word Mungani is friend in Ndau shona language, everyday Shona also says Shamwari.

Shona translator was very poor. Absolutely awful translation. These are the Shonas who want to identify themselves as South Africans and have sadly lost their own identity. Very sad a whole grown woman can't translate basic Shona. Nxa! 1.Molweni (heboi) ninjani (makadii)... no need for henyu. 2. Ilwimi (rurimi or ndudzi). 3. Igama (zita - singular) 4. Mna (ini). Inini is used where emphasis is need. 5. Brother is hazvanzi in Shona 6. Sister is sisi. 7. Mothers sister is maiguru or mainini 8. Fathers / husband sis is vatete. 9. Uncle is sekuru.
Yes, it's like your original home-home where you were born and raised (usually away from city, in the village) in Chindau shona language we also say, Kanyi ☺
Mmm the Shona girl is quite lost. Maybe she's now a bit out of touch with real Shona. For relatives we have exactly luke the Xhosa lady explained. Different names for different sides of the family and depending if they are older or younger to your parent. Anyway good try.

She was getting some Shona words wrong but interesting 😃😃 keep grinding
Hi, thank you for watching! Appreciated🌸 ...Sometimes it's easy to forget when translating in the moment 😊
in shona a word is shoko
word rinonzi chinyorwa. shoko is message
Zim lady was not ready she seems to have forgotten lot of shona words examples "us it means isu, "me is simply ini
In shona we also say mhoroi in xhosa it's mholweni.
I used to take saying: Da De Di Do Du for granted as a Shona. People say: Dha Dhe Dhi Dho Dhu😂😂😂
Some slight corrections
Word = shoko
Us = isu
Tese = together
Older Sibling = Mukoma
(brothers = bhudhi)
Younger sibling = munin'ina
Aunties 😮😂😂
Tete = your father's sister
Mainini = mother's younger sister

That’s surely is a botched Shona job😂😂
I'm Tswana but I could tell the Shona here is not make sure 😅
Father’s sister is tete correct but mother’s sister is amainini in Shona
I think Shona word is izwi, and many words are mazwi....Yes .
i know shona;afrikaans;engish and sizulu
Mama wange , data wange, mwana wa mama, mwana wa data. Makuru wange, murumuna wange ,musaza wange ,mushiki wange, masenge. Senge, marume ,data wacu , mama wacu. Nyogokuru , sogokuru, umwuzukuru
Shona was scotched
Shona is close to vhenda
yes it is, I always get so surprised. I was listening to Makhadzi's song "Kulakwe"
and these lines made me pause.
"Mungana wanu ni muvhudze nne ndi funesa deep kiss
Funesa deep kiss, funesa deep kiss
Ende futhi ni muvhudze nne ndi funesa honeymoon"
in Shona it would be
"Mungani wenyu mu muvudze ini ndinodisa deep kiss
disa deep kiss, disa deep kiss
ende futi mu muvudze ini ndinodisa honeymoon"
The word Mungani is friend in Ndau shona language, everyday Shona also says Shamwari.
❤❤❤
You should have used makadini henyu, it's a beat proper and easier for a none shona speaking to say. Don't use the shortened version.
