I boil some water.

Ndakafya ameenshi.

Ndimadula nkhuni.

I chop the firewood.

Ndateba inkuni.

Ndimabvundula m’moto.

I stir the pot.

Ndakumba mu mpooto.

Ndimapsyera munyumba.

I sweep the floor.

Ndapyanga.

Ndimatsuka mbale.

Chifukwa nciani ndimagwira ncthito mwaphamvu ine ndekha… Pamene mphwanga atanganidwa ndi kusewera cabe?

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