[Abrilpara2]

How do you say "we are friends" and "happy easter" in Zulu?

[hxasmirl]

sawu, emazulu. icabanga icaca oluhlazaokwesibhakabhaka ukuba okwa + isibhakabhaka.

[BitchinnShoes07]

ummm shorter way to say blue, please.

[thephilosopherkartik]

Zulu doesn't have a word for blue. Both green and blue are called 'Luhlaza' and 'Luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka' is simply a more specific term for the shade blue, it actually means 'Luhlaza of the sky'

[RealisticGurl89]

@BitchinnShoes07 lol u r right xD

[AkaoKiyotsu]

@BitchinnShoes07 Just long to write, not long to pronounce.

[r4ndi4r]

you're saying 'luhlaza okwa isibhakabhaka' which, because of the vowel clash, becomes luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.

But you are correct, the correct translation if colour of the sky

[xLokz]

LOL @ Blue

[superskiez]

pink , orange clearly european influence

Hello! Sawubona!

I am fine. Ngikahona.

Thank you. Ngiyabonga.

[HaykakanBanak]

I love Zulu! It has a sing-song quality to it.

[snovymgodom]

Actually, clicks exist in Zulu as well. They are written in both languages as c, q, and x.

[snovymgodom]

No words with clicks in them this time. Interesting way of saying blue.

[meltlet]

does blue translate to "green without yellow" or something? XD

[SoutieNNent]

yeah looks like it does

[r4ndi4r]

it is "green of the sky"

[DeMichaelSuperFan]

all that to say blue O_o

[SiiSTALUV]

DeMichaelsuperfan, looks like i'll never say blue. LOL

[kaokao13]
