English section[edit source]

@Tumbuka Arch: inde abwana, moyo uli bwanji? Note that in the English section the contents (like "Noun", "Meaning" etc. are supposed to be in Tumbuka. In Tumbuka Wiktionary you explain English (Polish, French, Turkish etc.) words for Tumbuka speakers in the Tumbuka language.

Btw, could you please provide a list of grammatical terms in Tumbuka? Like "noun", "adjective", "verb" "adverb", "numeral", "participle"...; "number" (singular/plural), "grammatical gender" (masculine, feminine, neuter), "case" (nominative, genitive, dative...) "noun class" (e.g. chinthu/zinthu, munthu/anthu, buku/mabuku). Maybe I'll need other terms, I'll try to contribute here adding Polish words.

Is there a Forum / Community portal page in the Tumbuka Wiktionary? If not, please also translate Community Portal into Tumbuka and I will try to create the page.

@Comp1089 ndili bwino, zikomo / nili makola, naonga (I am good, thanks).
Thanks for helping @Comp1089. I really appreciate what you are doing.
"noun = zina
"adjective", = mlongosoli
"verb" = ntchito
"adverb", = machitilo
"numeral", = mapendeko
"participle"...; = mtundwe
"number" (singular/plural), = nambala (singular/plural)
Community Portal = Vidumbizgano vya Chikaya
"grammatical gender" = chanakazi
masculine = chanalume
feminine = chanakazi
neuter = chapakati
"case" (nominative, genitive, dative.. = kalembelo
Another thing, ChiTumbuka and Chichewa are too similar, you could create an article in Chichewa and I could come and translate it into Tumbuka (as long as you tag them in one place (in temporary Category)) so that I don't miss any during translating.
Can you please create the forum. It is Community Portal = Vidumbizgano vya Chikaya
Thanks alot.

Meanings[edit source]

@Tumbuka Arch, moni, moyo uli bwanji? Mu Chizungu Malawi ndi dzina la dziko, komanso dzina la nyanja (Lake Malawi). Mu Chitumbuka "Lake Malawi" ndi chani? Maybe we could add the name of the lake as the 2nd meaning of this word? Thanks a lot. Comp1089 (talk) 00:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
