grammar lessons

I’ve decided to help some of the little village children with their Chichewa grammar. Many of them yell out “Azungu! Azungu!” when I walk by; this means “white people! White people!” Since there is only one white person (me) when they shout this clearly they are making a grammatical mistake, and thus the grammar lessons.

Little village children: “Azungu! Azungu!”
Me: “Siazungu! MMMMMZungu!” (Not white people! White person!)

The children are often quite stunned by this.
