So, it turns out my aunt (Mmane Shirley) is a SeTswana language-something-something --- she writes(teaches/documents) SeTswana books and she gave a list of SeTswana words for the 'new' English words.
That word, Lebolelamading is derived from a few words: lebolela (sting of a bee) + bola (rots) + mading (blood) .
I'll give you more as I learn some.
1ove, native tongues.
:-O , damn!
loving this shot.
Really fresh!
Ewe
Translation: go bola madi?!
Awesome
Lebolela......sting of a bee?
*didnt know that.
This pic is fresh.
@ Lebogang.......will this be the Gautrain route?
interesting, the pic and the translation!
i always find it intrestin how HIV/AIDS and other words end up with these type of translations. like 'kwatsi ea bosolla tlhapi' (hiv/aids)
btw - dope pic
Seilatsatsi --- true, but i suppose it's easier to understand what 'something means' when the words describe the thing itself, huh?
I'll ask my Aunt why the words are such.
tru, i cant imagine there being a direct translation for "acquired immune deficiency syndrome" in our indegenous languages. but then again i stand to be corrected
I dig the shot and the language lesson.Pls give more seTswana words!
strike
lol
*Gimmic Alert Ya'll!
