2.1
the word for "go" doesn't exist I say "Mahural mwesak" and got it wrong..
I mean it's also not wrong
language is weird
you can just use "up" or "down" to state the action of "going up" or "going down"
and "carries" you made a typo eventhough mwelebte and mweselkani the same thing. if you say this you'll still be understood
I observed and know that most verbs start with "m" or "mw" so I guess mwisib and mwesak could be verbs

In 2.1, a) Shouldn't carries be mweselkani ?

[@oceanwhaIe]

how can we diffenrentiate the translation between "the taro" and "taro"

6:02 Why is carries mwelebte?

[@yuklungleung620]
