Ninamenya viazi.

I peel the potatoes.

Ninakatakata kabichi.

I chop a cabbage.

Ninasaga karoti.

I grate the carrots.

Ninaosha maharagwe.

I wash the beans.

Ninakata maboga.

I cut the butternut.

Ninakatakata sukuma-wiki.

I chop the spinach.

Mama yangu anakatakata vitunguu.

My mom chops the onions.

Vitunguu hunifanya nilie vikiwa vinakatwakatwa.

Onions make me cry when they are chopped.
