Additional notes and corrections:

1. next week =
kuleli sonto (or iviki)lizayo

2. NgoLwesihlanu = Friday

3. Read monosyllabic verb stems on page 69: e.g.
dla (eat) = Ngiyadla
ya (go) = Ngiyaya

as against : Ngiyezwa ( I hear/ understand/ feel); Bayemba (they are digging.

4. Isonto: means Sunday, week, church. A sentence example:

Kuleli sonto lizayo ngizoya esontweni ngeSonto. [Next week I will go to church on Sunday.]


A song we did not get to sing:

Masiqhubekeni bazalwane
(Let us continue brethren (believers/ brothers)

Singaphel(i)' amandla
((let us) not lose power/ strength)

Ezulwini silindelwe. (In heaven we are awaited/ waited for.)

Sizocula leli (this) culo kusasa.

I may send you an audio clip from my Zulu 4 class as they sang it yesterday too.

Salani kahle bafundi bami.
