A few days ago, I found the book that these lessons are taken from.
The book is named "J'apprends le Lingala tout seul en trois mois"
which means "I'm learning Lingala alone in three months".
The author is Bwantsa-Kafungu S. Pierre. It was published in 1972.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]6669[/ATTACH]
The lessons I posted were copied from this site (http://lingala.aggelia.be/liste_lingala.html)and I just translated the french text in english.
First, in the book, the vowels are written like this : i u e o ɛ ɔ a
Second, the author of the site didn't put any accent on these vowels.
Even if there's audio attached to the lessons which really helps with the pronunciation, speaking a language and writing it are two different things.
And the author of the book make it clear that accents are crucial in order to dissociate words that have the same spelling (p.17) :
motó -- head
moto -- man
kokóma -- to arrive
kokoma -- to write
kopíma -- to refuse
kopima -- to measure
And for the last two sentences of the previous post (p. 53 in the book) :
Nakanísí te bísó nayó tokoyókana malâmu.
Okoyâ kotála bísó mokɔlɔ níni lisúsu ?
Note that I won't be able to reproduce some of the accents like an inverted circumflex over any letter or any accent over ɔ.
But I will try to find a way to scan this old book and post it as a pdf.
With all that being said, I will ask two questions :
1. Do you want to continue with the simplified vowels version of the lessons ?
2. From now on, do you want me to put all the accents I can on the vowels ?
I need some feedback, so talk to me.
Attached files (https://www.abibitumi.com/wp-content/uploads/ppMigration/85582=6669-Unknown-1.jpeg) (https://www.abibitumi.com/wp-content/uploads/ppMigration/85582=6669-Unknown-1.jpeg)
You are doing a great great job! Do the best you can. I would try to be as accurate and true to the language as possible. But then that's the question, what is accurate and true with varying resources saying different things? Failing that something is better than nothing.
I think the accent mark you speak of I can reproduce. Is it this, ӗ?
Matondo,
And yes that would be it ! Can you put it over this, ɔ also ?
No. That will take some more digging and work.
I think I'll wait to see if anybody else has something to say and I'll post a lesson either tomorrow or the day after, but we can still make improvements/changes along the way.
The keyboard installer for windows has Bemba, Kirundi and Lingala. I don't have those particular keyboards installed on my system, but you may want to give it a shot to see if you can get it. I'd definitely go for accuracy if at all possible.

That's how a real lesson look in the book
This is the closest I can get right now. But each words of the three first sentences need to be aligned with one another.
4th Lesson (p. 33), 6th sentence:
sɔ-ki ye-e a-la-mbi nga-i na-le-i

A retenir -- To remember
The imperative ( R ÷ V ) is characterized by a high tone H of the ending and the absence of any verbal or singular prefix, the plural imperative is expressed by the plural potential. Defense goes by the infinitive followed by tɛ̂. The potential (subjunctive) indicates that the order or the desire must be executed after the moment of speech (posteriority), immediately after ( -́ ÷ R ÷ V ) or several times
( -́ ÷ R ÷ Vk ÷ V ). The verbal prefix always carries a high tone.
L'impératif ( R ÷ V ) se caractèrise par un ton haut H sur la désinence et par l'absence de tout préfixe verbal ou singulier ; au pluriel l'impératif est exprimé par le potentiel pluriel. Une défense se rend par l'infinitif suivi de tɛ̂. Le potentiel (subjonctif) indique que l'ordre ou le désir doit être exécuté après le moment de la parole (postérité), immédiatement après
( -́ ÷ R ÷ V ) ou plusieurs fois, à plusieurs reprises ( -́ ÷ R ÷ Vk ÷ V ). Le préfixe verbal porte toujours un ton haut.

The first five numerals liNgála are nominal forms. Their prefix is always high. To enumerate in general, absolute, these numbers are the pronoun agreement in classes 1 and 3.
Numerals 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are invariable while ntúkú (ten) nkámá (hundred) and nkótó (miles) are nouns of class 9-10.
To express multiples of ten (10) the noun ntúkú (ten) is used followed by the multiplication unit :
20 ntúkú míbalé (10 x 2)
To express multiples of one hundred (100) the noun nkámá (hundred) followed by the multiplication unit is used :
200 nkámá míbalé (100 x 2)
To express multiple of one thounited snakesnd (1000) the noun nkótó (thounited snakesnd) is used followed by the multiplication unit :
2000 nkótó míbalé (1000 x 2)
Nkótó is commonly replaced by míli (one thounited snakesnd : 1000).
To express numerals between tens, hundreds and thounited snakesnds, we proceed by addition, with the particle na- (and) between the ten, the hundred or the thounited snakesnd and or units to be added.

In the sentence 5 : it's the same thing for the word yamwindo, over the i.

A retenir -- To remember
When two vowels follow (are in contact with) one another (azalí áwa), the first vowel disappears or undergoes a phonetic change, but its tone persists and is projected onto the following vowel and combines with the tone of the latter. The vowels i and u before any vowel (except i and u respectively) become semi-vowels y and w.
Lorsque deux voyelles se suivent (azalí áwa) (sont en contact),la première voyelle disparaît ou subit un changement phonétique, mais son ton persiste et se projette sur la voyelle suivante et se combine avec le ton de cette dernière. Les voyelles i et u devant toute autre voyelle (sauf i et u respectivement) deviennent des semi-voyelles y et w.
Ex.
nazalí áwa - nazalyáwa - je suis ici -- I am here.
mobáli óyo - mobályoyo - cet homme-ci, etc -- this man, etc.

TWENTY-SIXTH LESSON
VINGT-SIXIEME LECON
The sentence in LiNgála
In LiNgála the sentence consists of one or more clauses. The different types are : the affirmative sentence, the negative , the interrogative and the presentative.
Most clauses include a subject, a verb and a predicate. The subject dictates the verb agreement in number and person. Normally the subject precedes the predicate and the verb comes between the two.
Subject + Verb + Predicate
1 . Maríya azalí kolámba = S + V + P.......... Marie prepares ( is preparing ) = S + VP (V + P)
2 . Mamá asɛ́ngí mɔ́tɔ = S + V + P.............. Mom asks for fire = S + V + P
3 . Náni Afándí áwa ? = S + V + P.............. Who is sitting here ? = S + V + P
4 . Nalingí koyéba = SV + P....................... I want to know = S + V + P
These few examples show, first, that the notion of "subject", "verb", "predicate" is not to be understood exactly as in English. Indeed, where is the term "subject" in sentence 4 (LiNgála) ? Where is the term "predicate" in Example 1 (English) ?
We will then briefly define the "subject", the "verb" and the "predicate" in LiNgála , in a normal statement , in this case in an affirmative sentence.
A. - The subject in LiNgála can be :
1. a noun (cf. noun classes).
mobáli alingí mosálá.................... The man loves the work
mbóka ezalí kitɔ́kɔ....................... The village is beautiful
The noun can be followed by an adjective, a demonstrative , a numeral , a connective ...
The noun can be plural (There is no article in Lingala; the gender is usually given by specific nouns).
mobáli kitɔ́kɔ alingí mosálá............ a handsome man likes the work
mbóka monɛ́nɛ ezalí kɔtɔ́kɔ............ the large village is beautiful
mbóka zómí ezalí kitɔ́kɔ................ ten villages are beautiful
mobáli nangáí alingí mosálá.......... my husband loves the work
The noun can be a person's name , two nouns can be subjects of the same verb.
Maríya ná Polína bazalí kitóko......... Marie and Pauline are beautiful
Mbwá ná Nkoi Basálí mbóka........... The dog and the leopard based village
2. a verbal prefix (vp)
Nalingí koyéba............................. I want to know
Tolingí koyéba............................. We want to know
Boyébí nkómbó nangáí.................. You know my name
Oyébí mosálá.............................. You know (your) work
Ayébí elɔ́kɔ tɛ̂............................... He doesnt know anything
Balingí ngáí míngi áwa.................. They love me very much here
The vp of the third person is a- in the singular and ba- in the plural for the animated or personified beings. It is usually replaced either ( sg / pl. ) by e- in everyday language, for classes 3-15.
B. - The verb in LiNgála
A verb form in LiNgála is composed of articles that follow each other in a fixed and immutable order.
These are :
1. verbal prefix (vp) or initial
2. infix (formative , object, personal)
3. root verb (R)
4. verbal suffixes (extensions and final)
.....prefix + infix(es) + radical + extensions(s) + final
------ 1 -------- 2 --------- 3 ----------- 4 ------------- 5
But all these elements are not always present in all verbal forms. The essential elements for a complete verbal form are the root (3) and the final (5).
ko-bim-a...... to get out ......... bimá ! .......... get out !
ko-pɛ́s-a....... to give ............. pɛ́sá ! .......... give !
1. the verbal prefix (cf. table);
2. the infix is placed between the vp and the root ;- three kinds:
formative...... -ko- ...... always low
personal....... -mi- ...... always high
object ( = reflexive prefix )
3. the root is the verb form without vp and without final.
(ko)-bót-(a) ............... to give birth
4. extensions (see Litéya yantúkú mísáto namotóbá).
5. The final or inflection consists of a single vowel element, which is placed at the end of the verb form, either directly or after the extension, its tone is simple ( high or low depending on the verbal gradations).
The verbal conjugation allows us to see 13 tabular verb forms in LiNgála (they show such a degree of compaAmwility thqt they let themselves be put in a table) showing the time since the past perfect tense, through the present tense to the future tense (cf. Litéya yantúkú mísáto namítáno) .
C. - The predicate in LiNgála can be:
1. an adjective, a connective / possessive , a locative ,an invariable , a demonstrative ...
mwǎsi óyo azalí kitɔ́kɔ......................this woman is beautiful
akómí yangáí sikǒyo.........................she is mine now
ayíngélí nandáko.............................she has gone in the house
ndáko ezalí áwa..............................the house is here
nalingí óyo......................................I want this one
2. a noun, direct object
ntaba elingí makála.........................the goat like the charcoals
tatá alingí bǎna..............................the father loves the children
The noun can be followed by ... (cf. subject p. 86).
The study of all the syntactic possibilities is the proper object of the Theoretical Part. That we have given here is only fragmentary and can only be considered as a small note.

QUESTION
We were having a glass of wine in a bar. All three of us were Commissioners. We all have already become old / old men. The first walks with the help of a stick, the second is bald (has a baldness), the third has white hair. If a stranger comes to us there to greet us, who will he first say hello to ?
Nous prenions un verre de vin dans un bar. Tous les trois nous étions des Commissaires. Nous tous nous sommes déjà devenus des vieux/vieillards. Le premier marche à l'aide d'un bâton, le second est chauve (a une calvitie), le troisième a des cheveux blancs. Si un étranger nous arrive là pour nous saluer, à qui dira-t-il bonjour le premier ?
REPONSE
Even if you all have Commissioner stripes, amongst you, only one is the oldest. Where you are sitting at the table, you know well yourself who made you sit at a more distinguished place than other's. You know yourselves how you honor yourself amongst you. So if a stranger arrives, he will first salute the one that he thinks himself (is the oldest). If you do not want this way, you will show him who he can greet first.
Même si vous avez tous des galons de Commissaire, parmi vous, un seul est l'aîné. Là où vous êtes assis à table, vous savez bien vous-mêmes qui vous avez fait asseoir à une place plus distinguée que celle des autres. Vous savez vous-mêmes comment vous honorer entre vous. Ainsi si un étranger arrive, il saluera d'abord celui qu'il pensera lui-même (être l'aîné). Si vous ne voulez pas cette façon, vous lui montrerez qui il peut saluer en premier lieu.
A RETENIR – TO REMEMBER
Word formation is a very important operation in a language. It will be specially discussed in the Theoretical Part (Structure of the language).
However, we know that in general, in a bantu language, the essential idea is contained in a root.
The root contains the idea in the rough. To specify and diversify this idea, that is to say, deduct all the ramifications and possibilities of expression, we must add affixes (prefix, infix, verbal extension, suffix) to this root.
The normal order is as follows LiNgála for nouns deriving from verbs :
PREFIX - INFIX - RADICAL - EXTENSION - SUFFIX
After choosing our affixes, we add them to the root and we have nouns, verbs ...
La formation des mots est une opération très importante dans une langue. Il en sera spécialement question dans la Partie Théorique (Structure de la langue).
Cependant, nous devons savoir qu'en général, dans une langue bantoue, l'idée essentielle est contenue dans une racine.
La racine contient cette idée à l'état brut. Pour spécifier et diversifier cette idée, c'est-à-dire en déduire toutes les ramifications et les possibiltés d'expression, nous devons ajouter des affixes (préfixe, infixe, extension verbale, suffixe) à cette racine.
L'ordre normal est le suivant en liNgála pour les déverbatifs :
PREFIXE - INFIXE - RADICAL - EXTENSION - SUFFIXE
Après avoir choisi nos affixes, nous les ajoutons au radical et nous avons des noms, des verbes ...
Ex. :
-bál-
mo-bál-i homme, mari – man, husband
ko-bál-a se marier – get married
mí-bal-é deux – two
-bót-
mo-bót-i parent – parent
ko-bót-a engendrer – give birth
li-bót-a parenté – kinship

A RETENIR – TO REMEMBER
1. The Rules that we have given , that we give and will give in this First Part of our LiNgála Lessons must be taken primarily as general, sufficient however, for those who just want to speak the language.
It is difficult to analyze the structure of the language in the first lessons without unduly lengthen and without increasing our method.
" mbwá azalí namakolo mínei, akɛndɛkɛ nzelá míbalé tɛ̂ :
"The dog has four legs but does not go both ways at once ( french idiom literaly : he who kisses too much does not embrace well). "
2 . There is a notion on which we do not insist in these first few lessons : intonation. It is acquired mainly by habit, and moreover, its importance is relative and lesser than that of the tone, that should always be your main preoccupation in most zairian languages.
You just need to be careful not to produce a high tone as such (purely high) at the end of a sentence utterance, but to change the voice and to lower to achieve a falling tone.
1. Les Règles que nous venons de donner, que nous donnons et que nous donnerons dans cette Première Partie de nos Leçons Pratiques de liNgála, doivent être prises essentiellement comme des généralités, suffisantes cependant pour ceux qui veulent uniquement parler la langue.
Il nous est difficile d'analyser la structure de la langue dans ces premières leçons, sans les allonger par trop et sans alourdir notre méthode.
" mbwá azalí namakolo mínei , akɛndɛkɛ nzelá míbalé tɛ̂ :
"le chien a quatre pattes mais ne va pas deux chemins à la fois (qui trop embrasse mal étreint)."
2. Il y a une notion sur laquelle nous n'insistons guère dans ces premières leçons : l'intonation. Elle s'acquiert surtout par l'habitude, et de plus, elle a une importance relative et moindre que le ton, qui doit rester toujours votre principale préocupation dans la plupart des langues zairoises.
Il y a lieu simplement de veiller à ne pas produire un ton haut comme tel (purement haut) à la fin d'une phrase énonciative, mais de changer la voix et d'abaisser pour aboutir à un ton descendant.

LITEYA YANTUKU MISATO NAMINEI1. We have seen that when we added
affixes to a
root (
stem), we obtained either a noun or a verb or an adjective, etc...
Now, we need to know what are the appropriate affixes we will add to this
root.
2. The
affixes (or
particles that we add) are prefixes, infixes and suffixes. These are further divided into extensions and inflectional suffixes or finals.
3.
Prefixes.
In addition to verbal prefixes (na-, o-, a-, to, bo-, ba-), in LiNgála we have 15 class prefixes certifying a of singular-plural opposition.
1,
| 2 | mo- | ba-
| mobóti | parent | babóti |
| 1a, | 2 | ɸ | ba- | tatá | father | batatá |
| 3, | 4 | mo- | mi- | mosapi | finger | misapi |
| 5, | 6 | li- | ma- | litáma | cheek | matáma |
| 7, | 8 | e- | bi- | elɔ́kɔ | thing | bilɔ́kɔ |
| 9, | 10 | N- | N- | ndáko | house | ndáko |
| 9a, | 10a | ɸ | ɸ | kelási | class | kelási |
| 11 | 10 | lo- | N- | lobángá | chin | mbángá |
| 11, | 6 | lo- | ma- | lobánzo | thought | mabánzo |
| 14, | 6 | bo- | ma- | bondóki | rifle | mandóki |
| 14 | – | bo- | – | bobóto | tenderness | – |
| 15 | – | ko-(infinitif) | | | engendrer | kobóta |
The nasal N will be m before p, b; and will be n before t , k, g, s .
2.
Infixes- are placed between the pv and the stem.
- three kinds:
a) the formative infix -ko- has always a low tone, with the tone of the pv and that of the final, it marks the time.
nǎkosukola (na-ko-sukol-a)
| I am washing myself |
| nakosukola | I will wash myself |
b) the reflexive infix -mí- is the same for all classes and for all persons ; its tone is always high.
| námíboma (ná-mí-bom-a) | that I kill myself ! |
c) the object infix is the pronominal prefix (pp) for all classes. It expresses the direct object, its tone is always high, except for class 1, as well as for the 1st and 2nd person.
| (mwǎna) tatá amolingákí | the father loved him (the child) |
3.
The stem (R)The stem in LiNgála can be reduced to a monosyllabic stem.
Different types are possible :
(C : simple or complex consonant; V : vowel; S: semi-consonant).
a) the
CVC or
SVC type: this type of stems have a simple fixed tone, either low or high (a repeated stem loses the high tone on the first syllable). The simple tone stem is constant in all the verbal forms for the same stem.
| Low | | High |
| -kit- | go down | -kím- | flee |
| -lel- | cry | -bót- | father |
| -mɛl- | drink | -mɔ́n- | see |
| -pɔn- | choose | -kɔ́nd- | lose weight |
| | -yɔ́k- | hear, smell |
b)
CV type: this type of stems have a simple tone that is high. Their vowel is usually
a. Before the
i in the recent past tense, this vowel becomes
e.
| -yá- | to come | -wá- | to die |
4.
Extensions. (See 36th lesson)
5.
Inflectional suffixes- formally consists of a
single vowel element that is placed
at the end of the verbal form, either directly after the stem or after the extension;
- is essential and is always present in all verb forms (except in the verb "kozala")
- its tone is simple (high or low) and is different depending on verb forms.
- it is subject to
vowel harmony, especially in the infinitive verb forms.
| ko-ling-a | to love | -ling- |
| ko-lel-a | to cry | -lel- |
| ko-mɛl-ɛ | to drink | -mɛl- |
| ko-lál-a | to sleep | -lál- |
| ko-mɔ́n-ɔ | to see | -mɔn- |
| ko-lob-a | to talk | -lob- |
| ko-tún-a | to ask | -tún- |
There are several kinds of inflectional suffixes:
-
the inflectional suffix-á not preceded by a pv means the imperative; it is subject to vowel harmony.
| ko-luk-ka | to search | luk-á | search ! |
| ko-sɛk-ɛ | to laugh | sɛk-ɛ́ | laugh ! |
| ko-pɔn-ɔ | to choose | pɔn-ɔ́ | choose ! |
-
the inflectional suffix -a preceded by the pv ko - means the infinitive; is subject to vowel harmony (ko + R + V
R)
-
the inflectional suffix -a preceded by a high tone pv (Hpv) is the potential (subjunctive); is subject to vowel harmony (V.H) : (pvH – + R + V
R)
-
theinflectional suffix -í not preceded by the prefinal -Vk- means the recent past; preceded by the prefinal -Vk- it is the historical past; the prefinal -Vk-is subject to V.H.
| na-mɛl-í | I just drank (I drank) |
| na-mɛl-ɛ́k-í | I had drunk (I drank)
|
Often we do not apply the rule of vowel harmony (V.H) and we use either the vowel -a wherever there should have been a harmonic vowel with the vowel of the R (V
R).

2. This table is complete.
3. The term "usual" is sometimes translated as "intensive" we maintain it throughout for consistency.
4. The use of verbal gradations (tenses) is not always possible with all verbal stems interchangeably. Always consider the basic meaning of the verb. One can not, for example, in practice, use the verb "Kozala: to be" in the present continuative (7).

Similarly, there is way to form "new verbs". By adding an extension to a verbal base, we allow it to have a meaning that is more specified, larger or narrower, a more nuanced signification, by the adding of additional circumstances.
The extension with the verbal radical form a "new polysyllabic verb" which has its own conjugation.
It is obvious that the use of extensions depends on the fundamental meaning of the root word : you can not use all the extensions with all verbal stems interchangeably.
The vowel of the extension is still in
tonal harmony with the inflectional ending (sometimes there is also vowel harmony). For its place, see litéya yantúkú míbalé namotóbá.
The extensions allow us a greater ease of expression, we avoid those long detours are paraphrases; they also allow the borrowing, processing and assimilation of foreign words in the language.
Whithoutgiving you a complete table, here are the main ones:
1. -
The extension -am
-/-an
- form the
passive/stative verb.
| -bót- | father (a child) | -bót-am- | be born. |
| -yéb- | know | -yéb-an- | be known. |
2. -
The extension -is
- form the
caunited snakestive verb : the subject is
making someone else
do the action.
| -lob- | talk | -lob-is- | to make talk.
|
3. -
The extension -el
- form the
applicative verb : the action is
being done for someone or something, in his favor or disadvantage, in his/her honor, because of, etc...
| -sómb- | buy | -sómb-el- | buy for |
| -tínd- | send | -tínd-el- | send for |
4. -
The extension -ol
- form the
contrary verb, indicating that the subject is doing the opposite of the action indicated by the simple verbal base.
| -kang- | close | -kang-ol- | open |
Verbs formed this way generally have their
passive in -w- :
-kang-ol-
| open |
-kang-w-
| be opened. |
5. -
The extension -an
- forms the
reciprocal verb, which implies a
return of the actionfromthe one who is subjected to the action back to the one whomade the action.
| -bɛ́t- | hit | -bɛ́t-an- | fight |
| -tál- | look | -tál-an- | to look (one another) |
6. - A verbal root can have
multiple extensions at once:
| -bim- | go out | -bim-is- | take out |
7. - To express an
intensive/repeated, futile action, in liNgála, we
double the
verbal stem.
| -luk- | search | -lukaluk- | research |
| -lob- | talk | -lobalob- | chat |
8. -
The extension -w
- form the
stative verb, which marks a
state of the person or thing, a condition that does not change and continues.
| -kang- | close | -kang-ol- | open |
| -kang-w- | open oneself, be open and remain in this state.
|
We can not go deeper here. We recall our note on page 108 (litéya yantúkú mísató namotóbá).
We give what is sufficient for one who wants to
talk.

Un jour, un homme arriva près d'un village. Il rencontra un petit garçon assis sur le bord de la route, sous un arbre. L'homme lui demanda :
2. Hello ! boy, how do you call yourself ?
Hola ! garçon, comment t'appelles-tu ?
3. I never call myself, sir ; it is the people who call me when they need me.
Je ne m'appelle jamais, monsieur ; ce sont les gens qui m'appellent quand ils ont besoin de moi.
4. Well, bad boy ! said the man. Where does this path lead ?
Tiens, mauvais garçon ! dit l'homme. Où va ce chemin ?
5. Nowhere, sir, because it does not move, it is very quiet .

Arrived on the road, the man began to speak : friends let's open our packages and eat. The Rooster and the Goat refused. They went away.
The Rooster arrived home, he opened his package, found a woman in it ; he rejoices, he has her forever, for him alone unchallenged.
The Goat also arrived at home : he opened his package to eat the food, and he also found his wife there. He rejoices, he has her forever without paying.
It is the man's turn, he said to himself : me, I am tired ; he opened the forbidden package on the road. The woman went out and escaped hastily.
The man chased her very quickly, but alas, did not caught her ! (to be continued)
Arrivés en chemin, l'homme se mit à parler : amis ouvrons nos paquets et mangeons. Le Coq et le Bouc refusérent. Ils s'en allèrent.
Le Coq arriva chez lui, il ouvrit son paquet, y trouva une femme ; il se réjouit ; il l'a pour toujours, à lui tout seul sans contestation.
Le Bouc arriva aussi chez lui : il ouvrit son paquet pour manger la nourriture ; il y trouva également son épouse. Il se réjouit, il l'a pour toujours, sans payer.
Au tour de l'homme, il se dit : moi, je suis fatigué ; il ouvrit le paquet défendu en route. La femme sortit et s'enfuit à toutes jambes.

TO REMEMBER
-When two vowels follow each other in a word, we must pronounce them separately, although the pronunciation is done very quickly : each vowel often has its own tone.
The vowel length does not matter.
-Lorsque deux voyelles se suivent dans un même mot, on doit les prononcer séparément, quoique la prononciation se fasse très vite : chacune des voyelles a souvent sa tonalité propre.
La longueur des voyelles n'a pas d'importance.
-lek- surpass – dépasser
-bund-/-bun- fight – se battre
A syllable always ends with a vowel. We must therefore divide the word after a vowel : mí-ngi.
Une syllabe se termine toujours par une voyelle. Il faut donc scinder le mot après une voyelle : mí-ngi.

In the middle of the night, Mbata heard a man cutting the strings of his mosquito net, he asked :
- Who is the man who came/comes to cut the strings of my mosquito net ?
Afterwards, Mbata wanting to go out like that, the mosquito net fell on his body (top) ; a moment later, he felt the man cutting him a big wound on his shoulder and the bone broke.
This man gave him another wound to the head, twice : a big scary wound ! Thus, Mbata, went out (still) with his strength of man/with its masculine strength, he went quickly, called people, screaming loudly :
- Friends, come quick ... I am dying ! ...
The men came quickly, they found Mbata lying on the floor, the gaping wound letting the blood flow in a frightening way. You could not look at the wound several times !
They asked him : - what man has cut you wounds of this kind ?
Mbata said he does not know him and besides he has already fled long ago. (to be continued)
Un homme, du nom de Mbata, lui travailleur d'une compagnie, travaillait comme gardien de nuit. Ainsi, un jour, Mbata attacha son moustiquaire dans la barza de la maison pour fuir les mouches, à l'heure du coucher : il eût sommeil et il s'endormit à l'intérieur de son moustiquaire.
Au milieu de la nuit, Mbata entendit un homme qui coupait les ficelles de son moustiquaire,
il demanda : - Quel est l'homme qui est venu/vient couper les ficelles de mon moustiquaire ?
Après quoi, Mbata voulant sortir comme ça, le moustiquaire lui tomba sur le corps (dessus) ; un instant après, il sentit l'homme lui tailler une grosse plaie sur l'épaule et l'os se brisa.
Cet homme-là lui fit une autre plaie à la tête, deux fois : une grande plaie effrayante ! Ainsi, Mbata sortit (quand même) avec sa force de l'homme/grâce à sa force masculine, il s'en alla vite, appela les gens, en hurlant fort :
- Amis, venez vite ... je meurs ! ...
Les hommes vinrent vite, ils trouvèrent Mbata allongé sur le sol, la plaie béante laissant s'écouler le sang de façon effrayante. Tu ne pourrais pas regarder la plaie plusieurs fois !
Ils lui demandèrent : - quel homme t'a taillé des plaies de cette sorte ?

On the other hand, the man who had killed his brother/another is not yet recognized/known until today.
My friends, being a night watchman is a very dangerous job. It is better, if you're watchman, do not sleep/you do not get some sleep, that you watch all night and that you're with your arms (weapons) close to you.
If someone comes to steal/steal things or look for the road to kill you/the means to kill you/kill you, (if) he finds you on the watch he will not be able to steal.
But if you have finished you fall asleep/you sleep, he can kill you and then he will steal things like his heart wants.
Les hommes s'en allèrent appeler un blanc de la Compagnie, le blanc vint. Comme il voyait que la plaie était trop grande ils s'en allèrent chez le blanc de l'Etat/Commissaire ; le Commissaire leur donna un camion pour aller à l'hôpital.

Translation ( Lessons 48 and 49)
One day, very early in the morning, the Gazelle (Mbólókó) came to the Léopard (Nkoi), her uncle, she said to him :
- My uncle, to remain unemployed like this is a great laziness, it is better that we go for a walk/travel all the market to buy hogs/pigs. And when they give birth we will become great people in our village.
Lianas in hand, game on their back, both of them set off. When they reached the market, everything was there. Each bought as his heart wanted/They bought each according to his choice. The Leopard bought a sow/female pig, the Gazelle bought a boar/male pig.
Two months later, the sow of the Leopard gave birth to eight young piglets, because it was fertile when purchased by the leopard.
The Gazelle used to come and admire them every day that God made with his uncle the Leopard.
- If I too could have a lot of them like this !
One day, this thought became her hallucination ; she stole and began to steal a piglet every day.
Finding himself empty handed, the Leopard went to see her niece the Gazelle.
- Mboloko, where did you find all these piglets ? asked the Leopard.
- But, my uncle, replied the gazelle, you still do not know what happened about my boar ?
- Your boar, the Leopard retorted, what has he done ?
- But it was he who gave birth to all these piglets.
- A male who gives birth, it can not be at all. You're a liar, these are my piglets, screamed the Leopard.
- They mine, replied the Gazelle.
A lengthy discussion ensued.
The Leopard called all the men of the village to judge this story : "Tomorrow, tomorrow, come all, the Gazelle will explain how/by what spell/by what means at last, her boar has given birth. "
The Gazelle ran out of malice. She went at night for her friend/cousin The Squirrel for him to help her.
- My cousin, Squirrel, help me.
She told him the whole story, she said :
- I stole eight piglets from uncle Leopard, and I lied to him that "a male can give birth."
And for me to be saved, we will act like this : they will come to judge us tomorrow, me and my uncle the Leopard : and therefore, you, in the meantime you will cross the whole village, running a little, and talking to you alone to yourself. So when I will ask you : - Where are you going running like this, my cousin ?
You will cry aloud :
- I'm going to tell my mother that my father just gave birth to three twins.
Me, I will defend you and the men will judge the case.
Having come to an agreement, the gazelle went home quietly. When it was 12, the old judges also came to sit under the big tree in the middle of the village.
There were two families : that the Leopard and that of the Gazelle.
When the elders wanted to judge the case, they saw the squirrel passing by quickly singing and talking to himself :
- What a joy ! our family now has three more new children, and their mother is our daddy!
The Gazelle stood in the middle of the crowd, called the Squirrel and asked him :
- My cousin, where are you going under this sun, what do you say ?
- I 'm leaving, said the Squirrel, to quickly inform mom that dad just gave birth to three twins.
When the Squirrel had spoken, everyone fainted.
- You see, continued the Gazelle, you were taking me for a thief, whereas many males give birth, as now the father of the Squirrel.
Everyone remained silent; there was nothing to say, and the judges were saying among themselves :
- What are we looking for again, the case is decided on its own. As the father Squirrel has given birth, it is clear that the piglets of the Gazelle are those of her boar.
People left the meeting all amazed, because they were unprecedented things coming since their birth .
Since that day, the Gazelle and her uncle the Leopard no longer feel each other (closely).
We are often judged without valid evidence.
Traduction (Leçons 48 et 49)
Un jour, de très grand matin, la Gazelle (Mbólókó) vint chez le Léopard (Nkoi), son oncle ; elle lui dit :
- Mon oncle, rester comme cela sans travail est une grande paresse ; il vaut mieux que nous partions nous promener/voyager à travers tous les marché pour acheter des porcs/cochons. Et quand ils mettront bas nous deviendrons de grands personnages dans notre village.
Lianes à la main, gibecières au dos, tous les deux se mirent en route. Quand ils arrivèrent au marché, tout était là. Chacun acheta comme son coeur le voulait/Ils achetèrent chacun selon son choix. Le léopard acheta une truie/cochon femelle, la gazelle acheta un verrat/cochon mâle.
Deux mois plus tard, la truie du léopard mit bas huit jeunes porcelets, parce qu'elle était féconde lors de son achat par le léopard.
La gazelle avait l'habitude de venir les admirer tous les jours que Dieu a fait, chez son oncle le léopard.
- Si moi aussi je pouvais en avoir beaucoup comme ceux-ci !
Un jour, cette pensée lui devint une hallucination, elle vola et commença à voler un porcelet chaque jour.
Se trouvant les mains vides, le léopard alla voir chez sa nièce la gazelle.
- Mboloko, où as-tu trouvé tous ces porcelets ? demanda le léopard.
- Mais, mon oncle, répondit la gazelle, tu ne saurais pas encore ce qui est arrivé au sujet de mon verrat ?
- Ton verrat, rétorqua le léopard, qu'a-t-il fait ?
- Mais c'est lui qui a mis bas tous ces porcelets.
- Un mâle qui met bas, ça ne se peut pas du tout. Tu es un menteur, ce sont mes porcelets, hurla le léopard.
- Les miens, rétorqua la gazelle.
Une longue discussion s'en suivit.
Le léopard appela tous les hommes du village pour juger cette histoire : "Demain, demain, venez tous, la gazelle nous expliquera comment/par quel sortikège/par quel moyen enfin, son verrat a mis bas."
La gazelle se trouva à court de malice. Elle alla, la nuit, chercher son ami/cousin l'Ecureil pour qu'il l'aide.
- Mon cousin, Ecureil, aide-moi.
Elle lui raconta toute l'histoire, elle dit :
- J'ai volé huit porcelets chez l'oncle léopard, et je lui ai menti que : "un mâle peut mettre bas.".
Et pour que je sois sauvée, nous agirons comme ceci : on viendra nous juger demain, moi et mon oncle le Léopard : ainsi donc toi, en ce moment-là, tu traverseras tout le village, en courant un peu, et en te parlant tout seul à toi-même. Alors quand je te demanderai : - Où vas-tu comme cela en courant, mon cousin ?
Tu crieras à haute voix :
- Je vais avertir ma mère que mon père vient de mettre bas trois jumeaux.
Moi, je te défendrai et les hommes jugeront l'affaire.
S'étant entendus ainsi, la gazelle rentra tranquillement chez elle. Quand il fut 12h, les vieux juges vinrent aussi s'asseoir sous le grand arbre au milieu du village.
Il y avait deux familles : celle du Léopard et celle de la Gazelle.
Quand les vieux voulurent juger l'affaire, ils virent l'écureil passer en vitesse en chantant et en parlant tout seul :
- Quelle joie ! notre famille a maintenant trois nouveaux enfants en plus, et leur maman c'est notre papa !
La Gazelle se leva au milieu de la foule, appela l'Ecureil et lui demanda :
- Mon cousin, où vas-tu sous ce soleil, que dis-tu ?
- Je m'en vais, dit l'Ecureil, avertir vite maman que papa vient de mettre bas trois jumeaux.
Quand l'Ecureil eut parlé, toute le monde tomba évanoui.
- Vous voyez, poursuivit la Gazelle, vous me preniez poue une voleuse; alors que beaucoup de mâles mettent bas, comme aujourd'hui le père de l'Ecureil.
Tout le monde resta silencieux ; il n'y avait rien à dire ; et les juges se disaient entre eux :
- Que cherchons-nous encore, l'affaire est tranchée d'elle-même. Comme le père Ecureil a mis bas, il est clair que les porcelets de la Gazelle sont ceux de son verrat.
Les gens quittèrent la séance tous étonnés, car ils venaient des choses inédites depuis leur naissance.
Depuis ce jour, la Gazelle et son oncle le Léopard ne se sentent plus (de près).
On nous juge souvent sans preuves valables.
