Favourite words

Chimodzimodzi – same to you
Gulegufe – butterfly
Phataphata – thongs/flip flops
Chiphalwali – lightening and thunder
Kavuluvulu – whirl windy thingy
Sindikukhukhulupilila – I don’t believe you
Bodza – not true/no way/you’ve got to be kidding

My favourite suburb name is Bwalolanjovu – which means elephants resting place. Unfortunately I live in Area 22… which is no where near as cool!

Chichewa is such a fun language!
