Abangane bami (my friends), here is some vocabulary for isiNdebele body parts:
Amehlo= eyes
iqondo = brain/ mind
isandla = hand
ikhanda = head
amhlophe = shoulders
isifuba = chest
isisu = stomach
amadolo = knees
umlomo = mouth
isibhunu = bottom
amabele = breast
amazinyo = teeth (thanks to kymmiisha for the comment)
inyawo = foot
(ibhola lenyawo therefore means "football")
Sizakubona kusasa (we'll see eachother tomorrow). Thanks for the comments bakithi, the corrections were made.
