My gran is venda (from my mama's side) and she is here with us these days getting treated, she is not so well. I am waking her up in her language. I love venda. I love you gogo. Thanks Tondani for this. You are God-sent.
I'm really excited for you! SO many people you will be helping and the current state of education in alot of the areas in Limpopo needs more people like you!
This is helpful. Thank you so much. I am venda but i can hardly speak it which breaks my heart. And i just really wanna learn so badly. Ill be watching your videos 💕
So I decided to learn after 18years of being married to my Venda Man who's not interested in speaking or teaching me tshivenda, I make clothes and I wear Nwenda every once a week and I'm expected to speak the language, Giiiiirl THANK YOU, #newsubscriber
Tondani nevhatalu very much impressed with your teaching skills in Thsivenda language wooooow I love it.Please keep it up may . So any more Lessons please. I am on the Zim Side of the border town here Beitbridge Limpopo Province.
Remember Venda people inhabit the Limpopo region which boarders our very own country Zimbabwe to the north hence the linguistic similarities. I am certain before the boarders were put up we were all one people.
Shona and Venda are closely related like most Bantu languages from their family. The people who occupied the Great Zimbabwe likely came from south of the Limpopo. Kalanga and Nambya are probably the best hybrid between Shona and Venda.
Wow...this is so helpful. Thumbs up. just be careful with the spacing between your words eg. Ndi anifuna should be like Ndi a ni funa. But jealous down u khou thusa vhanzhi nwana wa hayani. Kha ise phanda nga u rali
Ridics unfortunately I haven't come across books. I've noticed some websites are starting to include Tshivenda as one of the languages they translate....you can try Google. visit your local library and hopefully the language section will have something you can use
Nh but except that people come from different areas in venda, n hence speak bit differently- there is a real original venda language which you learn at schools, which they use whenever they write books and everything (the standard version)... So in venda we don't have 'ini' but 'inwi', we also don't have 'tshesa' but 'dzedza'...so I just wanted to clarify that,,by the way thank you my sister for taking our language to people...I'm proud of you...make more vedios n try n use real venda... Thank you Ndaa...
Yes, you're right. Direct translation is "It is".... So Ndi matsheloni would be "It is Morning".... But loosely translated and how it's used, it's "Good morning"
It's a good thing you are doing but there are a lot of things you are saying wrong.1 your name doesn't mean trust but bless. 2 Aa is sustained it's not A but Aa. 3 "ini" is not venda it's said and written inwi 4. ndo vuwa is two words.5 ndi a ni funa
root thanks for the comment. I did make a correction to my name in the description already. As I said in this video or a previous one, I'm not an expert so the corrections are much appreciated :)
