Hi Daniel, For private Bemba lessons, you can contact https://zamtransinternational.weebly.com/bemba.html

Hi I would also like to know at all you know any private bemba teachers

Since they is a “we love you phrase” then it must have been that person is highly recognized by the people he/she visited …so in this way we bembas normally say

“Twatotela , twalimitemwa! ” Showing plurality as a translation to what you’ve asked for

And “Natotela , ndefwa insansa ukumimona” to replace
We love you

It means my love don’t deny me or don’t leave me

Hello Buyi,
Greeting elders in the traditional way is both about body language and verbal interaction, whichever tribe they are. The elder takes the initiative and you follow along. If you are welcoming them, you may take the initiative.

Body language: Respect the elder’s personal space. Avoid getting in their face. You make yourself small and avoid standing over them and staring them in the face. You can clasp your hands rather than reach for their hand for a hand shake, until they offer their hand. You reach out with your right hand to shake the offered hand with your left hand under your right elbow. Your hand shake should be firm but not too hard. (See the photo in the Daily Nation Newspaper showing President Lungu greeting Chief Sinadambwe of Siavonga – Tuesday, July 14, 2015)

Verbally, you respond to their lead and address them in the third person(They).

“Mwapoleni mukwai.” (Hello sir/madam)
“Bali shani?” (How are they?)
