POS[edit]

nkhukutemwa is not a phrase, it’s a single word. It’s a little like Spanish hablo, which means "I speak", but nkhukutemwa contains not only the subject but also the object. Many languages have this feature, where verb forms contain both the subject and the object, and sometimes even the indirect object. —Stephen 01:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

But this is the English Wikipedia, and it is a phrase in English! (Who are we defining this for?) Dbfirs 07:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
