Ndiyavuka ndenze umlilo.

I wake up and make fire.

Ndibeka amanzi.

I boil some water.

Ndixhaxhe iinkuni.

I chop the firewood.

Ndizamisa imbiza.

I stir the pot.

Nditshayele phantsi.

I sweep the floor.

Ndivase izitya.

I wash the dishes.

Kutheni kunyanzeleke ndisebenze nzima, kodwa umninawa wam uyadlala?

Why do I work so hard… … when my brother is busy playing?
