Muchima wami umvwa byapusana-pusana.

My heart feels a lot of things.

Umutima wandi ulomfwa ifintu ifingi.


Ñumvwa kusangalala inge ba nkambo kebetubule tushimi mabanga.

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

Ndatemwa nga bamaama baleetushimikila utushimi ubushiku.


Ñumvwa byapusanako inge mbena kukaya nabakwetu.

I feel silly when I play with my friend.

Ndomfwa ukusaamwa nga ndeyangala no munandi.


Ñumvwa kutama inge ba taata baamba amba bafwao mali.

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

Nshumfwa bwino bataata nga batiila tabakwete indalama.


Inge ba maama bankumbata, ñumvwa amba bantemwa.

I feel loved when my mom gives me a hug.

Ndomfwa ukutemwikwa nga bamaayo bankumbatila.
