Using 'Moko' and 'Liboso' in Lingala:
Hi Lingala learners,
The word "moko" meaning "number one" is special in that it is also used to convey the idea of self.
When used with a personal pronoun: Mpo na ngai moko
This means for myself (literally: for me self). This works with any and all personal pronouns:
| Lingala | English |
|---|---|
| ngai moko | myself |
| biso moko | ourself |
| ye moko | himself/herself |
| bango moko | themself |
| yo moko | yourself (singular) |
| bino moko | yourselves (plural) |
| yango moko | itself or themselves (inanimate) |
