Hi Nicole, great to hear from you! How old is your son? Is he Zulu? We were lucky enough to learn a bit of our sons culture while we were there (for example - it is customary for children to receive things (food, gifts) with both hands, otherwise it is seen as quite rude. Maybe you already know these words, but here are a few that we use often:
lala kahle (good night)
hamba kahle (go well)
sala kahle (stay well)
nigyabonga (I thank you)
Siyabonga (We thank you )
Kunjani? (How are you?)
Sapila (We are fine)
yebo (yes)
ibo (no)
umama/ubaba (mother/father)
Where did you stay in Durban? Durban is a great city, although we also really enjoyed Port Elizabeth (less cockroaches!). Anyways, take care!
Karyn
