Kirundi Notebook
I'm learning to speak Kirundi, the language of Burundi. Here are the notes from my lessons.

Be careful asking about pregnancy...
Two words to be careful about:
inda
-- hair lice
īnda
-- belly
This is especially true because the commonest way to say that someone is pregnant is to say that they "have a belly"
ufise/urafise
īnda
-- you have a belly (you are pregnant)
(to say this to a man would be teasing him)
ufise/urafise
īnda?
-- do you have a belly? (are you pregnant?)
ndafise
īnda
-- I am pregnant
