| olingi ngai | you love me | you love me |
| emoni biso | it/they (object) saw us | it/they (object) saw us |
| bomoni bango | you (plural) saw them | you (plural) saw them |
| eyebi | it/they (object) know | it/they(object) know |
| toyebi nyonso | we know all | we know all |
Take some time in the Exercises to learn how we can use these new words and add them to your Lingala vocabulary.
