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
