My goodness, lady you have a very deep knowledge of language constructs. I like your cross reference examples from other languages, I never heard anyone so deeply endowed in a subject matter, big ups
Maita basa! I have been hunting for soo long for this - It's hard to find a chishona course in Australia!!! I am so excited to start learning chishona!! My 'mother-in-law-to-be' speaks chimanyika and my 'father-in-law-to-be' speaks chizezuru! xx
@@angiesingh4982 depends on context. Just shaking hands is fine, not limp but not firm or squeezing either. In a traditional setting one might even “tyora muzura” that is to curtsy but by bending both knees slightly as you shake hands and putting your left hand under your right arm at the same time, as if you are giving them your hand with the other.
So what point surprised you?
