Ndichuba amazambane.

I peel the potatoes.

Ndinqunqa ikhaphetshu.

I chop a cabbage.

Ndigreyitha iminqathe.

I grate the carrots.

Ndihlamba iimbotyi.

I wash the beans.

Ndisika ibhathanathi.

I cut the butternut.

Ndinqunqa isipinatshi.

I chop the spinach.

Umama wam unqunqa amatswele.

My mom chops the onions.

Amatswele andenza ndilile xa enqunqwa.

Onions make me cry when they are chopped.
