Expressions[edit | edit source]

Expressions are a great way to show surprise in Lingala. Here are some common phrases:

  • Monoko ezali mosuni ! (mo-NO-ko e-za-LI mo-SU-nee) - This means "This is incredible!"
  • Likambo esalemaki ! (li-KAM-bo e-sa-le-MA-kee) - This means "What a surprise!"
  • Mama ! Nzokio kye nkambo ! (MA-ma! Nzo-KI-o ke n-KAM-bo!) - This means "Oh my goodness! What a surprise!"

Let's see an example of a dialogue to put these expressions into context:

  • Person 2: Monoko ezali mosuni ! Nalingaki ko pe koyamba ba oldies ! (mo-NO-ko e-za-LI mo-SU-nee! na-LIN-ga-kee ko pe ko-yam-ba ba OLDIES!) - This means "This is incredible! I also want to sing oldies!"

Interesting facts[edit | edit source]
