The stem -tsonga is used to Tsongalize words whereas the stem -tsonga is used to for the diminutive form of words. 41692 wikitext text/x-wiki Ntsongahato kumbe ntsongohato?

Ku na ku hambana exikarhi ka nsinya wa rito -tsonga na -tsongo. Nsinya wa -tsonga lowu hetelelaka hi -a hi lowu wu vumbaka marito yo fana na Xitsonga, Mutsonga, Vatsonga, kasi nsinya lowu hetelelaka hi -o i nsinya wa rihlawuri lowu vumbaka marito yo fana na -tsongola, lexitsongo, ntsongwana, katsongo, na man'wana. Hi marito man'wana, loko hi tsongahata xanchumu hi endla leswaku xi hundzuka xa Xitsonga, kasi loko hi tsongohata xanchumu hi endla leswaku xi hundzuka lexitsongo. Hikokwalaho, loko hi tsongahata rito Xinghezi 'Bible' hi ri hundzula ri va 'Bibele' kasi loko hi tsongahata rito ra 'Bibele' ri ta hundzuka 'Xibibelana'. Hi Xinghezi hi nga swi vekisa xileswi: Is the correct word for 'diminutive' ntsongahato or ntsongohato? The argument here is that there is a difference between the two words. The word 'ntsongahato' derives from the stem -tsonga (with the terminative vowel -a) whose derivatives are words like Xitsonga, Mutsonga, Vatsonga. Contrary to this, the stem -tsongo (with the terminative vowel -o) is used to form diminutives. In other words when we Tsongalize (by using the stem -tsonga) the English word 'Bible' it will become 'Bibele' whereas when we diminutize (by using the stem -tsongo) it will become 'Xibibelana' (a mini Bible). 11xx2nxmqd4ndhq0n3bwwcfw8djfyvd 41693 41692 2026-06-13T20:41:58Z Ximbani Eric Mabaso 12802 41693 wikitext text/x-wiki Ntsongahato kumbe ntsongohato?
