Extended Greetings with the Prefixes [38]

You can know also use these prefixes learnt to expand
your greeting capability by adding prefixes to what we
have already learnt as our greeting words:
How are YOU? - Unjani? I am well - Ndiphilile.
And when talking to a group:
How are you plural? Ninjani?
We are well Siphilile
We are well too Siphilile nathi*
See the culture section for when these would be used
other than the obvious, when talking to a group.
*Nathi is plural form of nam - we too, also us, and us!

Distinguishing you, he, she [36]
To differentiate between 2nd and 3rd persons, we would
probably use the person’s name if not talking to
someone direct:

Unjani? how are you?
Unjani uJustin? How is Justin?
