Yini loyentako kute kutsi utijabulise? Uchumana kanjani nebangani bakho? Yini i-inthanethi?

Lokubukwako

Nguyiphi indzawo lengaphandle loyitsandzako? Dvweba sitfombe sakho ulapho.

Kufundza

Bani ngumseshi!  Tingaki tinyoni letehlukile letishiwo kulendzaba?  Ungawatfola emagama etilwane tasehlatsini letimbili? Nguyiphi imisho lekutjela kutsi Liso untjintje ingcondvo yakhe ngekuya epaki? Tingaki tindlela letehlukene Liso lelinato lachumana nato nebangan bakhe?

Bhala

Bhala umlayeto wengcikitsi lekungenteka kutsi Liso uyibhalele lemunye umngani wakhe ngalesikhatsi afika ekhaya abuya epaki.

Umsebenti wetandla

Sebentisa tinsaba, tjani kanye nemacembe utakhele sakho sidleke senyoni.

Kulingisa

Hamba uye epaki loyicabangako: telule unwebeke kute ukhone kubona kutsi yini lena lesetulu etihlahleni, guca phasi ubuke titjalo netilwane letisemhlabatsini uphindze futsi ulandzele inyoni lendizako isuka kulinye ligala iye kulelinye.
