jesus christ one can really find everything on the internet! thank you so much in few weeks I hope I'll be able to pleasantly surprise my friend at work :P
This is so helpful. I am teaching myself Shona with grammar books that I purchased online. I am getting quite good at understanding Shona and constructing simple sentences but your tutorials are essential because they help me with pronunciation and you give such helpful explanations. Thank you so much 😊
Great video, thanks for creating it. These are the types of videos where I feel I can immediately improve my Shona. Some videos on connectives and word order (syntax) would be useful.

Thank you so much for watching our videos. So true the shona syntax is sometimes confusing that's why we are going to do a video for you on shona sentence syntax. We will also do videos on shona connecting words as well. Be on the lookout for those videos.
Nice, you are welcome. Keep on checking on this space we will do more of pronunciations, I hope you have the notification bell clicked so that you don t miss it it when we do a video on that.
You are very correct in the context you are referring to. Remember Shona language is a very contextual language, so in this video I am referring to the usage of I in conjunction with verbs. When you say I is Ini, you are refering to I as a stand alone word eg "I John" in shona becomes Ini John "I am John" in shona becomes Ndini John So the usage of I amd I am that you are referring to is in conjuction with a proper noun That is the complexity of shona , the shona translation of I and I am depends on it usage . They do have different translation depending if it is being used in conjuction with Proper nouns Verbs Adjectives Eg I + verb I run in shona it becomes Ndinomhanya I + proper noun I Peter in shona it becomes Ini Peter I am + proper noun I am Peter in shona it becomes Ndini Peter I am + doing word I am running in shona it becomes Ndirikumhanya
Wonderful

Always struggled pronouncing ZVA , thank you 😊

Is ndino possessive?
'Ndino' is a personal pronoun, not a possesive pronoun
@@Shonaland your video says possesive in the introduction. Anyway, thank you very much for your videos. I find them really really helpful!
You are so wrong in your teaching our language please, I is Ini come on. I AM is Ini ndini
You are very correct in the context you are referring to. Remember Shona language is a very contextual language, so in this video I am referring to the usage of I in conjunction with verbs. When you say I is Ini, you are refering to I as a stand alone word
eg "I John" in shona becomes Ini John
"I am John" in shona becomes Ndini John
So the usage of I amd I am that you are referring to is in conjuction with a proper noun
That is the complexity of shona , the shona translation of I and I am depends on it usage . They do have different translation depending if it is being used in conjuction with
Proper nouns
Verbs
Adjectives
Eg I + verb
I run in shona it becomes Ndinomhanya
I + proper noun
I Peter in shona it becomes Ini Peter
I am + proper noun
I am Peter in shona it becomes Ndini Peter
I am + doing word
I am running in shona it becomes Ndirikumhanya
Wonderful
🙃 thanks
