Chichewa question

Hello Friends,

I again need your translation assistance. Can anyone help me with timgwadire? Also, I know tiyeni, but how is tiyenitu different? Oh, last one for now, Sanalengedwadi.

Thanks!

Stephanie

I got the last one, but I still need the first two. :-) Anyone out there with any ideas?

Steph - Tiyenitu - is tiyeni emphasized. If you put tu at the end of something you are sort of reiterating or emphasizing it, somehow aggrandizing it (though I thought it was -thu). The first one I will have to look up (Yeah, I still have my dictionaries and workbooks.)

Thank you, Martha! That makes sense now that I think about it again....like ndithu.
