Level 1

Pilu yaka inani maikuto amañata.

My heart feels a lot of things.

Niikutwa tabo bokuku haba lukandekela makande manzibwana.

I feel happy when my granny tells us stories in the evening.

Niikutwa bukuba hani bapala ni mulikanaka.

I feel silly when I play with my friend.

Niikutwanga bumaswe bondate hababulela kuli habana masheleñi.

I feel bad when my dad says he does not have money.

Niikutwa kulatiwa boma habani kumatela.

I feel loved when my mom gives me a hug.
