Intliziyo yam iva izinto ezininzi.

My heart feels a lot of things.


Ndiziva ndonwabile xa umakhulu esibalisela amabali ngorhatya.

I feel happy when my granny tells us stories in the evening.


I feel silly when I play with my friend.


Ndiva kakubi xa utata wam esithi akanamali.

I feel bad when my dad says he does not have money.


Ndiziva ndithandwa xa umama wam endanga.

I feel loved when my mom gives me a hug.
