It is very difficult. Especially when you put things into negative or future tense.

Sorry, what's negative tense?

As in "I do not like pie" or "I am not dead". :-)

Okay thanks. I didn't know it was called that, but it really makes sense.  |

You don't like pie??? Pie is my life.

You're right, that was a very poor choice of sentence. Let me try again: 'I don't like leaving pie on my plate.'

Much better. Now say it in Zulu ;D

Aah! I doubt I could do that, I forgot all my Zulu on purpose the minute I finished my last Zulu exam. Let me try... Angithandi ukushiya ukudla epleyitini.
Ok, that meant "I don't like to leave food on a plate." Wow, I can still do a bit of this (with the help of a dictionary).
How about this: Je n'aime pas laisser le pâté dans ma plaque.
Probably quite wrong, but anyway.

Sorry! I said thank you in Zulu (& French), then you said 'Ok, can that be English now??? ', so I said it means thank you very much. Sorry for the confusion! :-)

Oh, it makes so much sense now. I guess if I had read back a bit I might have guessed that.
