I think we should have a Bantu language challenge! It would so cool to see how similar these languages are...all the way from Gabon to TZ, Zambia and SA
Wow I love this lesson I'm Uganda West Nile Part border to Congo I'm always want to learn kikongo because in my district we are doing a business with a Congo some Congo coming to our market to sell and buy their good and also our people went to Congo market to sell and to buy there good in Uganda we are a good neighbor with Congo it will be my pleasure to learn kikongo with you 🥰.
I really like learning kikongo coz the kongo kingdom was the biggest kingdom and advanced in that time which took part of the south of Gabon, cameroun as well (bassa) ppl) kongo brazza, Kongo Kinshasa, and Angola,,, I'm so proud being né kongo (yombe man) matondo Masaka
This is so nice. Am not so bad in Lingala (I thin am actually good for a Kenyan) I have so much interest in Kikongo Ozosala mosala ya bien (or should I say kisalu Hahahaha!)
@@zyamcoent9072 "Bantu migration" is a lie spread out by W. Bleek...that's not real history, that's colonial history to cover up genocides...

Nani, wapi and kukutana are the same in Swahili :) Kikongo sounds so beautiful. I need to learn this beautiful language :) You are a great teacher :) :)
thank you so much for sharing this video!! i'm an artist here on youtube! my parents and i speak lingala and french to each other, but whenever they speak kikongo i can never understand! 😂😂 i'm so happy that you have a kikongo playlist! i can't wait to learn more 🥰
I basically understand everything ,she is saying ,the difference is on the pronounciation .If you want to learn Kikongo ,Teta Lando has great musics in Kikongo
Nani-bani Inki-ini Wapi-kuphi, waphi means "where from" Where do you come from-wena usuka kuphi These are some of the words which I find similar that are in Zulu(South Africa).
She is speaking Kituba (also known as Munukutuba, Monokutuba and Kikongo ya leta, a creole language based on Kikongo), Kituba does not contain verbal prefixes. The Kimbundu and Kikongo languages contain verbal prefixes.
There was a musician called KIESE DIAMBU NTESA with a nickname'wanted' he played with afisa intl. where he composed the song " Kanda te zuwa te" among others.He also featured in the great Tp okjazz and did justice to Masiya Simaro Lutumba's 'Vaccination' From the video I have learnt that the name Kiese actually has a meaning in kikongo and now I will be referring to him as Nice Diambu Ntesa.
Hi chair I enjoy your videos, I have two questions: Why is Kikoongo called Kongo dya ntotila? We have totela people in sesheke district of Zambia within the regional people called baTonga(baGundu). In my studies in Zambia I have only found these people in sesheke. In Congo I have found this name among the mongo-nkundu section of the B80 tetela, and within here there are people called ba Ngongo among ba Dengese. Are bakongo batotela? And what does it mean when you say Bansi ya ntotila? Why is the same language also known as munu kutuba? I thank you.

You are welcome in Kiswahili we say "karibu/unakaribishwa". I have noted some of kikongo words are similar to Swahili language example - wapi, mosi is same but we normally say " moja", tatu, nani, tanu is tano". "kutuka" we say "kutoka"
It's similar coz are bantu language and we bantu people, kikongo language got a lot of Similarly with Zulu as well, Zulu is(UP) IN KIKONGO, and in Zulu language THEY say MPEZULU meaning UP also
Since my great great grandmother on my grandfather side from old Kongo before the European colonist divided Africa she end up in British colony in Jamaica who force the former slaves to speak only English. I born and rise here in Canada who the aboriginal people continue to speak there language why not people of African ancestry?
@@CongoTalks243 ok now i know,that was my questions, but i think kikongo and lingala are the same like sound and words but the different is how to write or i am wrong madam?
@@bantuboy9492 not really. There is some similarities even without speaking about the Kikongo loanwords in Lingala but it's not that closely related(in the Bantu group) . Swahili or Bemba seems closer to Kikongo than Lingala
Munu kutuba is not Kikongo, when white fox arrived in Kongo Kingdom in 1482 they were unable to speak kikongo then they have invented Munu kutuba thinking they are speaking Kikongo.

Very pretty Felie🫶🏻
Good morning , beautiful

How do you say "born of fire" in KiKongo????
❤❤❤
Hello, I’m actively looking for the kikongo translation of “my king” in Kikongo ? Thank you for helping me out !
Hi. You say “Mfumu na mono”.
What of Nimi or Mwene?
I basically understand everything ,she is saying ,the difference is on the pronounciation .If you want to learn Kikongo ,Teta Lando has great musics in Kikongo
❤
What is the difference in meaning between the words Bakongo, Akongo, and Mkongo? Good video 👍
Wat part of the world do you live now , I live in Australia Near Newcastle
@3:50 what about Kombo nani? and Owuta wapi? are they part of the kicongo language?
No, they're in Lingala
@@CongoTalks243 Actually watching the other video is when i realized the difference in both languages..Thank you for the informative presentation....
Nani-bani
Inki-ini
Wapi-kuphi, waphi means "where from"
Where do you come from-wena usuka kuphi
These are some of the words which I find similar that are in Zulu(South Africa).
Even lala zulu it mean to slip as well in kikongo nlala or lala
I love this language. How different is it to kimbundu ?
I believe Kimbundu is the Angolan version of Kikongo. I’ve never heard it being spoken so I’m not sure.
They are in the same category as group H in Guthrie's Bantu classification.
She is speaking Kituba (also known as Munukutuba, Monokutuba and Kikongo ya leta, a creole language based on Kikongo), Kituba does not contain verbal prefixes. The Kimbundu and Kikongo languages contain verbal prefixes.

From the video I have learnt that the name Kiese actually has a meaning in kikongo and now I will be referring to him as Nice Diambu Ntesa.
Oh thanks for sharing! Kiese actually means Joy or happiness 😊😊😊
Am glad to know that
I'm already a demon Kaz

Who in kikongo is the same as in Swahili :)) and where too.
And to meet you is also the same. Kukutana.. Nice similarities.
They're similar because they're all Bantu languages. I wouldn't even say they're different languages. Just different dialects. We're all one people.

Why in Congo Brazzaville kikongo is samu na inki
Yeah, it’s just a little different like that
Munu kutuba is not Kikongo, when white fox arrived in Kongo Kingdom in 1482 they were unable to speak kikongo then they have invented Munu kutuba thinking they are speaking Kikongo.
