beginner’s guide to learning isizlu lesson 7- poerty and tongue twisters

you don’t need to take in all the words !! but by the end of the beginner’s guide you will know most of the words from the poem

Isihlahla Sezimanga Akukholakali Akubonakali Akuzwakali Siqalekil’isihlahla Isihlahla simile Abantu bayasibuka Basibuke bathalalise Akukho namunye ofun’ukuchith’isikhathi Angithi asinabuhle, namthunzi Ngibukile, ngicabangile Ngahlolisisa ngafisa ngafak’isandla Ngasifaka ngaphindelela Zahamba izinsuku Zahamba izinyanga Qhamukiyani ihlobo! Vumbukiyani amagatsha! Ngabukisisa angangakholwa Babukisisa abangakholwa Sakholwa ngamagatsh’aluhlaza cwe Amagatsha namahlamvu axox’indaba Indaba engaqondakali Eqondwa yithi sobabili Sakhumula ukudangala Sagqoka ukumamatheka Ukumamatheka kwashada uthando Uthando olukhashwa izinyembezi Izinyembezi zenjabul’egelezis’okomfula

Ingqeqebulane yaqaqela uqhoqhoqho, uqhoqhoqho waqaqela iqaqa, iqaqa laqalaza. The expert talker loosened up for the trachea, the trachea loosened up for the polecat, and the zorilla (polecat) looked around in amazement

Miracle Tree

It is unbelievable It has never been seen It is unheard of The tree is dry The tree is standing People are looking at it They look and shy away No one wants to waste time It is because it possesses no beauty, it has no shadow I have looked, I have thought I searched deep and lend a hand I lend a hand continuously Days went by Months went by There arrived summer There emerged branches I looked again but could not believe my eyes They looked again but could not believe their eyes We only believed when we saw green braches Branches and leaves tell a story An unbelievable story It is understood by the two of us We took off disappointment And wore a smile Our smile married love Love accompanied by tears Tears of joy that flows like a river

UCele ucambalele ocansini ucabanga ngecebo lokuciba ucilo ngomcibisholo Mr Cele is lying on a (grass) mat thinking about a plan to hurl a spear at a lark.
