Every word in your Chichewa reading passage is clickable. Get English translations and grammar help while you parse the Bantu noun-class system.
Type any topic and LingoBear generates a fresh Chichewa reading passage — from Lake Malawi to chitenje fashion.
Chichewa (also called Chinyanja or just Nyanja) is a Bantu language of the Niger-Congo family, with around 14 million speakers in Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. It is the national language of Malawi alongside English. The 'chi-' prefix is the language class marker, while 'Chewa' is the ethnic group.
Like most Bantu languages, Chichewa uses noun classes (around 17 paired singular/plural classes) that trigger agreement on verbs, adjectives and demonstratives. Verbs are agglutinative — a single verb can carry subject, object, tense, aspect and mood markers. LingoBear lets you see these patterns in real reading material.
