Here are some words I have learned in Bemba, which is phanetic!:

Natotella, Natasha---both mean thank you
unsoka-----snake
molli shani----a respectful hello, shani just to friends
chungulo mukwai-----is a hello after sunset, so 6pm. chunguloPO mukwai is the respectful greeting.
bieno(said like wieno)-----a response to shani, means fine
enshima----is their staple food, its maize ground up into a meal. You slowly pour some into boiling water and stir it with a huge wooden spatula. Then to eat it you grab some with your hands and roll in in your palm and use it to pick up your food. No utensils needed. Let me remind you that in Zambia, to be big is beautiful, thanks to enshima. They will literally fill up a whole plate with just enshima and then another plate with everything else.
a chitenge----is their custom skirt, and i just got a really pretty one at the market last week!
icimuti-----is a tree
ifimuti----is many trees
umunsokansoka---is a very bitter tree that they use for medicinal purposes like malaria, headaches, and stomach problems.
musamba----is a very fiberous tree that they use to make ropes or anything really. The leaves are long and fern like.

Well i'm sure there is more but thats all I can think of right now.

Other tid bits i learned this week:
If you boil water and stick an avocado seed in it for awhile, you can drink the "tea" and it is great for your blood!
I know now how to start a fire with elephant dung and then make a grill out of digging a hole and placing bamboo or reeds over the hole, and i know how to make a trap to catch a rabbit or mouse. oh and i learned of a couple different barries in the bush i can eat without getting sick, i think...

love you
