How Do You Say Goodbye In Sesotho To A Group Of People?

Let’s take a tour as we talk about how we refer to some nationals from a few nations. We will focus on what the natives of such states are called, and their respective languages, and a few interesting facts. Here we go .

.. a citizen of Ghana is called a Ghanaian.



Not “Ghanian”! The term “Ghanaian” can be applied as both an adjective and a noun to define a person or a thing linked to Ghana. One cute Ghanaian crown is the fact that it was the first nation in the region of Africa located south of the Sahara Desert , (“ normally” referred to as the sub-Saharan African region, though I feel that classification is abnormal, but that’s a story for another day ) to attain political independence. Ghana, meaning “warrior king”, is rich in history and natural resources.

A key global cocoa producer, it is second only to Côte d’Ivoire. A person from Lesotho is called a Mosotho, and of course, this is singular. What if we are referring to a plural or a group? Well, we call them Basotho.

They speak Sesotho. Made up largely of highlands, several Lesotho villages can only be accessible on horseback, or by foot or light aircraft. It is the one and only independent state in the whole world that towers wholly over one thousand meters or 3, 281ft in height.

The “Kingdom in the Sky” is the only nation in the world to have its terrain situated at more than 1,000 meters above sea level. Batho (people), I adore that feat! The “Mountain Kingdom”, wealthy in water and diamonds, it gained independence from Britain on October 4, 1966. Let’s visit another royal place: eSwatini.

An inhabitant or citizen of Eswatini is a Swati or Swazi. LiSwati or LiSwazi. Of course, this is singular.

In the siSwati language, the plural for the citizens is amaSwati. A person from Madagascar is called a Malagasy. Did you know that? Though Malagasy is considered more appropriate, “Madagascan” is also used, albeit in a less formal fashion.

Africa is a jewel. You know it. What about a person from the stunning island of the Seychelles? One.

.. two.

.. three.

...

four...

They are referred to as Seychellois. . What do we call a person from Somali? Did you say, they are “Somalian”? Well, a native of Somali .

.. is Somali.

A person who hails from the United Arab Emirates or a citizen of the UAE is an Emirati. A national of the State of Qatar is a Qatari, while a native of Kuwait is a Kuwaiti. We park it here.

I hope you enjoyed the trip. This weekend I thought I’d brush up on my Sesotho. Salang hantle batho! Bye!.
