Lesson 15 days/weeks/months/years

Today- Nahlanje
Yesterday – Izolo
Tomorrow – kusasa
Ngemuza kwayizolo – day before yesterday

Week – Iviki / isonto
this week – ngaleli viki / ngalelisonto
next week – ngeviki elizayo/ ngesonto elizayo
last week – ngeviki elidlulileyo / ngesonto elidlulileyo

The months are written in Zulu Zulu and in English most people will know the English version ones so you don’t have to worry about learning them

Month – inyanga ( traditional witch doctor)
this month - ngalenyanga
next month - ngenyanga ezayo
last month - ngenyanga edlule

Year - unyaka
this year - ngalonyaka
next year - ngonyaka ozayo
last year - ngonyaka odlule

Ngolwesingaki- what day of the week is it?
Yenza kusasa- do it tomorrow

Ngizoqala umsebenzi ku leli viki- I will start work this week.
Ngengi gula ngeviki eledlulileyo – I was sick last week.

Inyanga ithi ni? – what month is it?
Ngizohamba ukuyabona inyanga ngenyanga ezayo- will go and see a healer next week.

Ngihlangane laye kudaladala ngonyaka odlulileyo- I Met him/her long ago last year
