[@teachermartin8251]

Hi, thank you. You should start by speaking your broken Kikuyu confidently. This way, you will improve faster than waiting for the time you will get every word right.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO TYPE A KIKUYU LETTER .

[@teachermartin8251]

You'll need a special keyboard for that or set the characters in your current keyboard which is a bit technical. The direct way is to copy the extra ay and au characters and replace them in your document text

[@simplyguitar3082]

Btw, can anyone tell me the meaning of- Gakuhi?

[@teachermartin8251]

Simply means "short", the root of the word is kuhĩ

[@simplyguitar3082]

@@teachermartin8251 Thanks a lot.

[@teachermartin8251]

You're much welcome 🤗

[@teachermartin8251]

@alainmekoyo1131 Sure, that's why they are grouped together. If either of the members of the group speaks especially slowly, you'll always understand a few words here and there.

[@raybubblegum9480]

So basically, the n and m before another consonant are silent...?

[@teachermartin8251]

I would not say that with an example of b and mb ... these are two different sounds....like 'compound consonants'... for n, you will find that a sound j, d sounds exist as nj and nd ...

[@Gikash]

i'm 32 yrs and a kikuyu but i speak kikuyu with a swahili rhythm and wrong intonation :) :) Rthym yangu ya kikuyu doesn't flow well

[@teachermartin8251]

you can fix that easily by getting the basic of the language more importantly the difference from similar Bantu languages like Swa . See the lesson on vowels
