Nazuhanga niku tumbula mulilo.

I wake up and make fire.

Nabilisanga mezi.

I boil some water.

Na pazaulanga likota zakuapeisa.

I chop the firewood.

Na kundunga mwa mupika.

I stir the pot.

Na fiyelanga balanda.

I sweep the floor.

Natapisanga mikeke.

I wash the dishes.

Kiñi zeni sebelezanga katata… … munyenaka yena inge apatehile kubapala?

Why do I work so hard… … when my brother is busy playing?
