1-44 Still - Sa

Still – ‘SA’ and to - ‘uku’ [44-45] Last lesson we learnt how the six prefixes fit onto thefront of verbs, and how a ‘ya’ is placed between them,when they form the only word of the sentence.Today we learn two rules:1. The first is that if you wish to say that you are stilldoing something, you can replace the ‘ya’ with a‘sa’For example, I am learning - NdiyafundaI am still learning - NdisafundaYou are working - uyasebenzaYou are still working - usasebenzaWe are looking - siyajongaWe are still looking - sisajongaThey want - bayafunaThey still want - basafuna (they are still looking for)   Note: Unlike the ya, the sa is retained regardless ofwhether there are further words added to the sentence. 2. The second is that if you wish to say “to” do averb/action, you only need add an ‘uku’ onto thefront of the verb. For example,like - thanda to like - ukuthanda,try - zama to try - ukuzamalearn - funda to learn - ukufundatalk - thetha to talk - ukuthetha   UBuntu Bridge has been teaching Xhosa since 2006, there are various products, learning services and tools at : https://www.learnxhosaonline.com/store   #ubuntu #learnxhosa #xhosa #xhosalanguage #isiXhosa
