Hi guys i figured you might need to buy some clothes or cooking utensils as you visit me here in my land (Eswatini) so let me give you names of clothes/utensils in my language. Just to assist you with pronunciation k sounds like the english c (camel/comb)..h is silent or sounds like Ne"he"miah...this is what i'm gonna do, next to the siswati name, i'll try and add an example which is of a similar pronunciation (not in all the words though :( )
(Ema)lihembe (ne'he'miah) shirt(s)
lisokisi (g sound for k) socks
lishethi shirt (sounds the same)
liwashi Watch (sounds the same)
lipenti ('pa'nty) knickers
sipunu spoon (sounds the same)
ligedlela tea pot
emafutsa ekupheka Cooking oil
while you hang around my hood, you might be interested in my animals so let us give it a try;
Libhubesi ('bh' sounds like 'bo'ok) Lion
Indlulamitsi ('ndl'sounds a bit like i'dl') Giraffe
inja ('nj' sounds like i'nj'ection) Dog
(ti) sihlala Tree(s)
i will keep on updating....bye for now!!!
is everyone still here? ok, here we go.........
kubala ngesiswati (counting in siswati)
titfo temtimba, buso ( parts of the body, the face)
Tindlebe ears imphumulo/likhala nose
(NB: in another context lulwimi can mean language e.g. "our mother language is siswati" translated "lulwimi lwetfu siswati."
mostly used phrases in an office set up (emagama lasetjentiswa kakhulu ehhovisi)
ngicela ungiboleke ipen may i borrow your pen
ngicela kukhuluma na John may i please talk to John
uyakucela umphatsi the boss is calling/asking for you
sinemhlangano eboardroom nga 10 we have a meeting in the boardroom at 10
sinelilunga lelisha lestaff we have a new staff member
uphi John? where is John?
ngicela ungibike kumphatsi ngitoba i will be late today, i started at the
late namuhle, ngicale eclinic clinic, please inform the boss/report me.

ngidzinga inotepad ningayitfolaphi? i need a notepad, where can i get one?

ngiyasitsandza siketi sakho i love your skirt
liyana kani ngite iumbrella it's raining and i don't have an umbrella.
singahlangana yini before lunch? can we meet before lunch?
NB: i''m sure you have noted that some of these phrases include some english words. most languages have "borrowed words" if i may put it that way. if you dig deeper into siswati though some words are difficult and not being used. eg. pen in siswati luswiba, feather in siswati luswiba.
In most instances 'luswiba' is used with reference to feather unless it's some deep siswati poem or novel.
keep reading, i'll definitely be back with more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow it's my birthday, 9th July....
i don't believe i'm grown and i don't want to go any further, i pray for my youthful days not to end. I'm greatful/happy that the Lord has kept me in good health, i don't have any sickness in my blood with regards to that i must celebrate. In helping me celebrate my birthday, please leave/share well wishes in my Siswati or just write one Siswati word that you know.....that will make me happy.

Bravo LinCaya!!!! Now all u gotta do is add some audio files so we can also learn how to pronounce the words correctly. Siyabonga!
LinCaya.M 13 May 2013 at 04:41
let me try and work out something for you ok?
Anonymous 30 May 2013 at 01:23
Hello...i jst started learning and find it hard to get language materials online. But i noticed that Swazi is not too different from Zulu. So is it acceptable to use the two languages interchangably?
LinCaya.M 2 June 2013 at 23:30
the languages are almost the same. well, people from other countries find it easy speaking zulu that siswati...in zulu the 't' in substituted with 'z'. eg. siswati ngiyeta in zulu is ngiyeza.
keep on reading, i will be posting more words. i've been trying to work on some audios too but it's not promising!!!!

I am going on a mission trip to Mangweni in Mpumalanga South Africa. I am originally from Lesotho but currently reside in Johannesburg. I am really glad that I stumbled upon this blog because I need to learn a bit of Swazi to communicate during ministry at the mission. Would you mind adding some biblical terms such as repentance, salvation, crucifixion, redemption, and so forth. What I found here has been helpful already though. I am fluent in Zulu so I am catching on very quickly.

Ngiyabonga kakhulu, I've been meaning to look for some assistance... but not even known what word to search under. So, tonight I found your blog... It is a great blessing to me. I have visited your truly beautiful country a few times, and am now hoping to work there next year. I am sure with your assistance I will soon be able to speak with confidence. Bless you.
Anonymous 17 October 2014 at 04:53
Ngiyabonga! This is quite good for one who wants to speak the language immediately. I would however appreciate if you can comment whether Siswati has a certain structure , e.g. In Spanish, there's what is called Conjugation - where if you know the verb and the right pronoun, you can be able to at list say something.
From your examples,i have noticed the use of 'Ngi' - refers to you and 'U' refers to I? Plse elaborate
Belle Holder 14 November 2014 at 20:42
Hi! Thanks so much for this, is there any way to add a pronunciation guide to this? how do you pronounce mine? My-n or mee-neh? or neither? any help is appreciated as accents are always what i'm worst at!
teachme 30 November 2014 at 16:52
please provide a translation for: Mother, Father, Sister, Brother.
LinCaya.D 2 December 2014 at 03:29
I hope this will be good enough;
Mother = Make (Mar- k(k sound))
Father = Babe (bar- ber)
Sister = Sisi (same as Sis)
Brother = Bhuti ( sounds like booty :) )

Thankyou for this blog. I am wanting to write a letter to my sponsor child in Swaziland. Do most of the children speak English or only Swazi? Can you assist me to write a letter in Swazi? From Irene (in Australia).
LinCaya.D 9 March 2015 at 07:39
I would love to help you with your letter. The language depends on regions really (which part of the country the child is). you can drop me an email and i will translate for you. i tried responding as soon as i got your comment but unfortunately you did not receive it.

You should make Youtube videos, cover the basics and how to pronounce things. You can make money off of it too if you continue to make videos, you could do a new section every week or so, help out people in need and make a profit !

Great blog post! I am living in a Siswati speaking area of South Africa (Malelane) and, as part of our Siswati study group, have created a memrise Siswati course.
Many of the swati words are accompanied by audio spoken by a native speaker.
Please let people know about this - As soon as we have 100 people on the course I can write to the guys of Memrise and register Siswati as its own language group on Memrise - at the moment it is still registered under 'other languages' which makes it difficult to find for people just browsing around.
Memrise is a great tool for learning languages.

Is "sweetie" an endearment in SiSwati?
Ops, my mistake, is "sweetie" an endearment in Swati? Ignore the above question on SiSwati.

Such a comprehensive guide and an interesting language, I think I might have to work on my pronunciation though.

My name is Mandy Laira am from USA. i want to use this opportunity to thank my great spell caster who really made my life a pleasurable today. This great man Dr. Ogbefi brought my husband back to me, i had three lovely kids for my husband, about four years ago i and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me for one lady. i felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, until one day i met a good friend of mine that was also in a situation like me but her problem was her ex-boyfriend who she had an unwanted pregnancy for and he refused to take responsibility and dumped her. she told me that mine was a small case and that i should not worry about it at all, so i asked her what was the solution to my problems and she gave me this great man email address. i was doubting if this man was the solution, so i contacted this great man and he told me what to do and i deed them all, he told me to wait for just two day and that my husband will come crawling on his kneels just for forgiveness so i faithfully deed what this great man asked me to do and for sure after two days i heard a knock on the door, in a great surprise i saw him on his kneels and i was speechless, when he saw me, all he did was crying and asking me for forgiveness, from that day, all the pains and sorrows in my heart flew away,since then i and my husband and our lovely kids are happy.that's why i want to say a big thank you to solutionoflovespelltemple@hotmail.com. This great man made me to understand that there is no problem on earth that has no solution so please if you know that you have this same problem or any problem that is similar, i will advise you to come straight to this great man. you can email him at: solutionoflovespelltemple@hotmail.com And also his WhatsApp Number: +2348056932763

My Name is Jenny.I will love to share my testimony to all the people
in the forum because i never thought i will have my boyfriend back and
he means so much to me.The boy i want to get marry to left me 4 weeks
to our wedding for another lady,When i called him he never picked my
calls,he deleted me on his facebook, when i went to his place of work he told his
boss he never want to see me any more I lost my job as a result of
this because i could not get myself anymore,my life was upside down and
everything did not go smoothly with my life, I tried all i could do to
have him back, all my effort turn in vain, not on till i met a Man
when i travel to Africa to execute some business have been developing
some years back, I told him my problem and all i have passed through in
getting him back and how i lost my job, he told me he going to help
me, i didn't believe that in the first place. but he swore he will help
me out and he told me the reason why my boyfriend left me and also
told me some hidden secrets. i was amazed when i heard that from him,
he said he will cast a spell for me and i will see the results in the
next couple of days. then i travel back to US the following day and i
called him when i got home and he said he's busy casting those spells
and he has bought all the materials needed for the spells, he said am
going to see positive results in the next 2 days that was Thursday, on
saturday of it, My boyfriend called me at exactly 12:35pm and apologies for all he had done, he said,he never knew what
he was doing and his sudden behavior was not intentional and he
promised not to do that again.it was like i was dreaming when i heard
my husband called me and Dr UZOYA said i haven't seen anything yet, on
monday of it, they call me on my office to come and resume work. right
now i am so happy with my family again.

My name Rose Lisa from Florida,i am 50 years old...My life is back!!! After 2 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids . I felt like my life was about to end i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Ehinome, which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the Internet,I came across allot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back,some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. i also come across one particular testimony,it was about a woman called Sonia,she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Ehinome's e-mail address.After reading all these,I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr Ehinome, is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man... If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you. Try High ehinomespellcaster@gmail.com anytime, he might be the answer to your problems. Here's his contact: ehinomespellcaster@gmail.com call 2348036345198 or website address: http://ehinomespellcaster.yolasite.comand for anything questions call me on +4(4703)1987-7255
