Look inside
Module 1. Opinions, agreeing & disagreeing
(Maikutlo le go dumalana)
Mo ponong ya mein my opinionmoh poh-NOH-ng yah meh
Ke akanya goreI think thatkeh ah-KAH-nyah GHOH-reh
Ke dumalana le wenaI agree with youkeh doo-mah-LAH-nah leh WEH-nah
Ga ke dumalaneI don't agreeghah keh doo-mah-LAH-neh
Ke a ganaI refuse / I disagreekeh ah GHAH-nah
Disagreeing with respect
In Setswana you can disagree firmly while still showing respect, and softening with rra or mma keeps the conversation warm. Openly contradicting an elder is avoided; people often say Ke a utlwa (I hear you) before offering another view.
That is one module. 10 more follow in this guide, with 16 interactive exercises.
