Intliziyo yam iva izinto ezininzi.

My heart feels a lot of things.

Mon cœur ressent beaucoup de choses.


Ndiziva ndonwabile xa umakhulu esibalisela amabali ngorhatya.

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

Je suis contente quand ma grand-mère nous raconte des histoires le soir.


I feel silly when I play with my friend.

Je me sens ridicule quand je joue avec mon amie.


Ndiva kakubi xa utata wam esithi akanamali.

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

Je me sens mal quand mon père dit qu’il n’a pas d’argent.


Ndiziva ndithandwa xa umama wam endanga.

I feel loved when my mom gives me a hug.

Je me sens aimée quand ma mère me donne un câlin.
