Muchima wami watiyang’a yuma yayivulu nankashi.

My heart feels a lot of things.

Umutima wandi ulomfwa ifintu ifingi.


Natiyang’a muzang’alu neyi nkaka nakutulezha nsang’a mumelela.

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

Ndatemwa nga bamaama baleetushimikila utushimi ubushiku.


Natiyang’a kusupa neyi nahemi nembwambu dami.

I feel silly when I play with my friend.

Ndomfwa ukusaamwa nga ndeyangala no munandi.


Natiyang’a kutama neyi tata yami nahoshi nindi hakweti madiku.

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

Nshumfwa bwino bataata nga batiila tabakwete indalama.


Natiyang’a kukeng’a neyi mama yami nankumbati.

I feel loved when my mom gives me a hug.

Ndomfwa ukutemwikwa nga bamaayo bankumbatila.
