Ninapenda kusoma.

I like to read.

Nalitemwa ukubelenga.

Nimsomee nani?

Who can I read to?

Naani nalaabelengela?

Mdogo wangu amelala.

My sister is asleep.

Nkashi yandi naalaala.

Nimsomee nani?

Who can I read to?

Naani nalaabelengela?

Mama na bibi wana kazi.

My mother and grandmother are busy.

Bamaayo na bamaama bali ne ncito.

Nimsomee nani?

Who can I read to?

Naani naalaabelengela?

Baba na babu wana kazi.

My father and grandfather are busy.

Bataata na bashikulu bali ne ncito.

Nimsomee nani? Nijisomee mwenyewe!

Who can I read to? I can read to myself!

Naani nalaabelengela? Kuti naibelengela nemwine!
