It’s day 25 of the #ShonaChallenge and today we are going to learn some madimikira, or metaphors in Shona language!
Metaphors are a staple of all language. And Shona metaphors are no different.
They add flavour to language, and some are more elaborate than others. The beauty of language is within the creative pepper that we bring to it. And the Shona language has some delightful metaphors. Statements that seem unrelated to the direct conversation but are in fact colourful describers of the subject at hand.
How many of these madimikira did you know? Do you have any madimikira you would like to share with us?
We’re so grateful that you’ve been taking part in the Shona challenge with us. Don’t forget it’s open to the whole family. We’d love to see your videos online. Just tag us and we will retweet or repost you on social media
