Mohlala:

“Ngwana yo a sa lelelago o swela tharing.” - Go ra gore motho yo a sa kgopeleng thušo a ka wela mathateng.

Mehlala emengwe ya diema:

1. Motho o iphepa ka seatla sa gagwe.

2. Se bolelo ke seatla, mme pelo e bo se amogele.

3. Lerato le le feteletseng le tswala lehufa.

4. Metsi a a neng a gaswa ke ona a a tshololang.

5. Ngwana yo o sa utlweng molao o utlwa setlhabi.

Dika ke mašala a polelo a setšo a rutileng ka dithuto tša bophelo, maitshwaro le boitshwaro bja batho.

Gape dika ke mantšu a bokgale a go ruta le go eletša, a swanago kudu le diema, eupša wona gantši a gatelela kudu thuto ya boitshwaro, thuto ya bophelo le maitshwaro a batho.

Dika ke ditšhupo tša bohlale bja setšo tše di fetago dithuto go tšwa go kokwane go ya go bana.

Di dirišwa ka dipaka tša thuto, ditšhiwana, mediro ya setšo, goba ka mehla ge go eletšwa motho.

Mohlala: “Tšhilo ga e hlabiši ka moka.” - Go ra gore ga se motho o tee o a ka bago le lehlogonolo goba katlego ka nako e tee.

Mehlala e mengwe ya dika:

1. Se re se ratang ke sona se re senyang.

2. Motho o ja botshelo jwa gagwe ka seatla sa gagwe.

3. Selo se o se tshwarang se ka nna sone se go tshwarang.

4. Ga go molato wa modimo, molato ke wa motho.

5. Motho yo o latelang phala ya mofoka o latelwa ke dikeledi.

6. Go rata ka matlho fela go felela ka go lla ka pelo.

Monna o bolawa ke se a se jelego


Ka ge polelo e nabile, lehono re mo puwong ya setswana, re tla eteka gona.

Polelo e re, "Monna o bolawa ke se a sejelego", e nale bokao jwa gore dilo tse re di jesiwang kgotsa tse re di amogelang ka go rata di ka re senya. Go ka bo go bua ka dijo tsa mmele, kgotsa dilo tsa maikutlo le maikutlo a re di dumelang. Ka mantšu a mangwe, selo se o se dumeletseng mo matshelong a gago ka go se kgethe sentle, se ka nna sone se tla go timelang.

Tlhagiso mo botshelong jwa nnete

1. Mo go tsa mmele:

   Motho a ka swa kgotsa a ka lwala ka ntlha ya dijo tse di sa siamang a di jesiwang, jaaka dijo tse di nang le bolwetse kgotsa tse di feteletsweng ka motswako o o kotsi. Le goja dijo tse disinyegilego kgotsa tsa mohuta o tee mehla le mehla.

2. Mo maikutlo le boitshwaro:

   Mo temaneng e e tseneletseng, “go ja” ga go bolele dijo fela, go ka bo go raya go amogela maikutlo, mekgwa, kgotsa dikgopolo. Fa motho a dumela mo mekgweng e e kotsi, jaaka bohodu, bojalwa bo feteletseng, kgotsa go ikgokaganya le batho ba ba nang le maikaelelo a mabe, di ka nna tsona tse di senyang botshelo jwa gagwe. Ge motho a fela a ngongorega, go tla motlisetsa mafokodi mmeleng, gwaba gwa dira gore a be le matsapa a go mo amoga bophelo.

Thuto e e tswang mo polelong

* Re tshwanetse go nna kelotlhoko ka se re se tsenyang mo mebeleng ya rona le mo megopolong ya rona.

* Go tshwanetse go lekanyetsa sengwe le sengwe, ka gonne selo se se bonalang se monate gompieno, se ka nna le ditlamorago tse di bohloko mo isagong.

* Ga go na ope yo o bolayang motho kwa ntle ga tumelo ya gagwe — gantsi re bolawa ke se re dumetseng gore se re siametse.

Go ja ga monna elego motho ga se goja ka molomo fela. Re ja ka ditsebe, re ja ka letlalo, re ja ka mahlo, re ja ka dinko. Bjalo go nyakega gore rebe le menagano ye e hlwekilego gore rekgone go phele maphelo a asiemego.

Re sa le gana feo, gona le ditaba tse dirego ge difhlile go motho a swanelwa ke go di fitisa esego bjalo di tlo mo imela tsa fetsa di mo wisa fase. A re boneng gore a re rwale ditaba tse ditshi mo tsebong ya rena. Ditaba diswana le dijo. Ge o jela kudu oa bipelwa.

Re kgopela gokwa go lena. Are ngwaleng, a re baleng, a re rutegeng re be re rute babangwe!

Motho le hlako - hlako e kaba mohlako goba mogato

 Rare re ngwala ka hlago ra ngwala ka hlako!

Motho le Hlako

Bophelo bja motho bo tletše ka dikhutlo tše dintši tše di re rutago ka kamano ye kgolo magareng ga motho le hlako ya gagwe. Hlako ke karolo ya bophelo bja rena, e sa re tlogele, e re latela mo re yago gona. Le ge e se yo a bolelago, hlako e dula e le gona go bontšha gore ga re esi leetong la bophelo.

Hlako e Bolela Eng?

Hlako e swana le seriti sa motho – ke seswantšho sa seo re lego sona ka nnete. Le ge re ka leka go ikhuta, go ithiba, goba go sepela le batho ba bangwe, hlako ya rena e dula e re latela. E re gopotša gore ga re ka se tšhabe rena ka borena. Go bjalo le bophelong; maitekelo, diphošo, le ditoro tša rena di swana le hlako – di tla dula di le gona.

Go Tswara Hlako ka Thata

Go swanetše gore re amogele hlako ya rena. Ka mantšu a mangwe, re swanetše go amogela rena bjalo ka re le gona – ka matshwenyego, ka maatla, le ka bofokodi bja rena. Ge motho a sa amogele hlako ya gagwe, o ka phela bophelo bja go itlhoka le go bolaya boitshwaro bja gagwe.

Hlako le Tlhago ya Motho

Hlako ga e ke e lebalege ge go na le seetša – e bonagala kudu. Le ge lefase le ka fifala, hlako e ka nyelela go se bonagale, efela ga e ke e timele. Le bjalo le bophelo; diphephetšo di ka dira gore re lebale bohlokwa bja rena, efela nnete ya rena ga e timele – e dula e le gona.

Thuto ya Bophelo

Kamano ya motho le hlako e re ruta bohlokwa bja go ikgona, go itumelela rena bjalo ka ge re le gona, le go dula re le boikokobetšo. Leetong la bophelo, hlako e tla re latela, gomme re swanetše go e amogela bjalo ka karolo ya rena.

Mašeleng:

Hlako ya gago ke karolo ya gago. O se ke wa e tšhabela, o e amogele, gomme o tšwele pele le leeto la gago ka khutšo.

Mošito o tšwa hlakong! 

Ga buša gwaba le "thlako" ya gore dilo ga dihlakane. Tša "Tlh" goba "hl" re tla di bona. 

Thoo sa mosela wa seripa!

Diwele makgolela dire - mpherefere!

Re ra DITAOLA - divination bones, divine bones! How did they came to being? Where did they originate? In reality, ditaola ke eng?

A re segakenegeng re nyakaneng le nnete gore rekgone go phela re sa tjofale, re sa hwe. Ge o sa rutwa, o ka di hlalose ditaola ge ditjholohjwe fase? Ge e se wena moporofeta o ka kgona go di bala naa? Dilo tje dingwe di re gakantjha ka gobane re sa nyake go rutwa. Ke leboga ge le kgonne go etela sengwalwa se sarena gore re kgone go rutana ke se re se tsebago.

Ke kgopela gore re tloge re dira dinyakishisho tja go tsenelela mabapi le ditaola.  Ka gore se ke se lemogago batho kamoka ba Africa ba a ditseba ene ba a didirisha. Se se ra gore Africans are religious people.

Bjalo, a re boleleng, ke eng se o se tsebago ka ga ditaola?  

Ditaba ke tje dintji, go shotha ba reri ba tjona. Le ka dumela ge nkare ditaola ke hlago? Ge o gana fahlela mabaka a gago re kgone go bona nnete ya gago gore e go phedisha bjang. Rena ba manganga ga rena tjelopele? Re ngangela seeding goba leswiswing? Le kgale leswiswi lena le tja lona, le seetja sena le sa tjona. Enoba batho kamoka re rata tja lesedi.

Ke a tshepha fore polelo yaka e hlapile ga e le lehle.

Ka kgopelo: Phatlalatjang sengwalo se. Ngwalang le fahleleng le be le tlaleletje se se bolelwago mo.

Ka ge re sae thuta, re rata ge le ka bowa gape gp tlo bala le go rutega.

Potjisho: Re ka ngwala le go phatlalatja dingwalo tja rena ga kae mo bekeng, kgweding goba nakong? Lerata ge re ka ngwala le go bolela ka ga eng?

Translation from one language to another, this is art and science

Translating is not as simple as it sounds. Other languages don't have enough words, in that case we relay on what we see or understand. In some cases it will depend on our perception and metal capacity. Be careful when reading or learning other languages you mind need to be sober. Help me translate this 3 words:

  • Internet.
  • Connections.
  • Network.
Into:
  1. Sepedi,
  2. Setswana,
  3. Ndebele,
  4. Xhosa,
  5. Zulu,
  6. Dzonga,
  7. Venda,
  8. Swati
Hope you will help us in understanding how languages interact.

For the business of the day lets learn:

The Art and Science of Translation: Bridging Linguistic and Cultural Divides

Translation, the process of rendering text or speech from one language to another, is both an art and a science. It requires a deep understanding of not only the source and target languages but also the cultural nuances, context, and subtleties that underpin effective communication. As globalization accelerates and our world becomes more interconnected, the importance of skilled translation cannot be overstated.

The Essence of Translation

At its core, #translation is about communication. It enables the sharing of ideas, knowledge, and culture across linguistic boundaries. However, translation is more than a mere word-for-word substitution. It's about conveying meaning, emotion, and intent accurately and effectively.

Literal vs. Idiomatic Translation

Literal translation focuses on converting text word-for-word from the source language to the target language. While this approach might maintain the original structure, it often fails to capture idiomatic expressions and cultural references. For instance, the English phrase "kick the bucket," meaning to die, in Sepedi we say, "o ragile lepai," if translated literally into another language, would likely confuse the reader. An idiomatic translation would find an equivalent expression that conveys the same meaning in the target language.

Cultural Sensitivity and Context

Effective translation requires a nuanced understanding of cultural context. Certain concepts or practices may be unique to a culture, necessitating adaptations or explanations in the translation. For example, translating a Japanese haiku into English involves not just finding equivalent words, but also capturing the essence and brevity that characterizes the form. Similarly, business communication must consider cultural norms; a direct approach in one culture might be perceived as rude in another.

The Translator's Skill set

A proficient translator possesses a blend of linguistic expertise and cultural awareness. They must be adept at both the source and target languages, understanding grammatical rules, syntax, and vocabulary. Beyond linguistic skills, translators need to appreciate cultural nuances and be able to navigate idiomatic expressions, humor, and regional dialects.

Tools of the Trade

Modern translators have access to a variety of tools that aid in the translation process. Computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, like SDL Trados and memoQ, help manage large projects, maintain consistency, and streamline workflows. Machine translation engines, such as Google Translate and DeepL, offer quick, albeit often imperfect, translations that can serve as a starting point for human translators.

Challenges in Translation

Despite advancements in technology, translation presents several challenges. Ambiguity in the source text, lack of equivalent terms in the target language, and preserving the author's voice and tone are common issues translators face.

Machine Translation vs. Human Translation

Machine translation has made significant strides, especially with the advent of neural machine translation (NMT) systems. However, these systems still struggle with context, idiomatic expressions, and complex syntax. Human translators, with their ability to interpret nuance and context, remain essential for high-quality translations, particularly for literary works, legal documents, and sensitive communications.

Ethical Considerations

Translators also grapple with ethical dilemmas, such as how to handle offensive or controversial content. Maintaining the balance between fidelity to the source text and sensitivity to the target audience is crucial. Ethical translation practices demand transparency, respect for the source material, and a commitment to accuracy and fairness.

The Future of Translation

The future of translation is likely to be shaped by further technological advancements and increased globalization. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are expected to continue improving machine translation capabilities. However, the human touch will remain indispensable for nuanced and culturally sensitive translations.

The Role of Technology

Technological tools will increasingly support translators, enhancing their productivity and enabling more efficient project management. Augmented translation, where human translators collaborate with AI to produce high-quality translations, is a promising area of development.

Globalization and Localization

As businesses and individuals operate on a global scale, the demand for translation and localization services will grow. Localization, adapting content to fit the cultural and linguistic context of the target market, will become even more critical in ensuring effective communication and engagement.

We might end here but we continue

Translation is a vital bridge connecting diverse cultures and languages, fostering understanding and collaboration in an increasingly globalized world. While technology continues to evolve, the artistry and insight of human translators remain irreplaceable. By appreciating the complexities and embracing the tools available, translators play a crucial role in breaking down linguistic barriers and bringing the world closer together.

Man and nature - motho le hlago

Nature is life. We are part of life. Nature balance itself. We fail to balance our effort. What can be the cause? Now and then nature intervene in our deeds in order to balance what we have started but we saw that as a disaster. Let's dwell in this challenges which faces us in order to find out what,when and where did we messed up. I will name some so that we can understand the way to a balanced life.

What causes:

  • Floods,
  • Global warming,
  • Pandemics,
  • Draughts,
  • Diseases,
  • War,
  • Fimine,
  • New religions,
  • Advances in life
  • Earthquakes


There is too much we are faced with as human race. To my understanding it seems we take too much out of nature and we don't replace that is why we have imbalances in the forces of nature. Our ways of processing our finished products so that they can be useable is really our worst enemies. If the situation is like that what must be done? We can't take raw materials in advances our deeds with them, we have to convert them, why?

Anyway, let's go back to nature. Let's live a balanced lifestyle and all will be well. We won't fight such atrocities. We are part of nature, let's embrace it.


How prepared and ready are you? I asked this because we are always been caught by nature's surprises as we also do that unto #nature.
