XhosaNostra:
Yes, there are. You pronounce it in the manner I told you. Perhaps you should listen to how it's pronounced online because I don't know how to explain it eloquently.

Maybe I need to write Seun to request that he adds a voice note uploading feature to the site.

Do you know that when you deactivated your account after that BBA e pain me no be small?

XhosaNostra:
The "H" you make an exhaling type of sound, without it, then it'd sound different I guess.

But are there Xhosa words that have letter "X" without "H" following it? If so, how's the "X" pronounced.

There is no letter "X" in the Yoruba alphabet. I also think it is not needed in the English alphabet.

XhosaNostra:
With a tongue click at the back of your mouth. Example, "Mtcheeew" is made with the front part of your mouth/teeth, now try to do it with the back teeth & you'll get a sound similar to how we pronounce "X".

Okay, I think I get it. What's then the function of the "H" after the "X". If there was no "H" there how would it be pronounced?

XhosaNostra:
Wow, it's been a while. Gotta run. Talk to you later.

Alright. Have a great day.

XhosaNostra:
What a lovely description. I get it. How long have you been friends?

How's Xhosa pronounced?

XhosaNostra:
What a lovely description. I get it. How long have you been friends?

We've been friends for like twelve years.

XhosaNostra:
Exactly!

Well like I said, it depends on many things. If you're loyal to me, I'm loyal to you. I'm fair. I treat people how they treat me. I have been loyal to people who weren't loyal to me though, but I switch as soon as I realize where I stand with them. It's strange because if I made a promise to you, I keep it even when we're no longer on good terms. IDK why. Like I'm not someone that'll air all your dirty laundry because we're no longer an item or whatever.

For me it's like I am a bank and every person is an account holder. As they make loyalty deposits through the things they do or don't do, thats how their importance grows with me.
There are people who can just make a huge deposit at once that wows you, but more often than not, its little deposits that build up to make a person worthy of my complete loyalty. I have one or two friends now who can get away with many things most people won't get away with because of such loyalty deposits they've made before.

XhosaNostra:
If I consider someone a friend or whatever, I become their eyes, ear...everything. I'll defend you in your absence, but I'm not one to fight your battles for you in your presence. I'm loyal but I'm not anyone's sidekick lol. How I am in your face, is exactly how I am behind your back. So, no backbiting or shadiness. I'm trustworthy. I almost never date more than one person at a time, but I'm capable of emotional cheating lol. I just don't sleep around. I guess you can say I'm faithful to an extent. To be frank, my loyalty depends on many things because it certainly isn't blind.

Blind loyalty does not make sense. That one is being bewitched lol.

How do you choose who to be loyal to?
Mine kinda grows with time.

XhosaNostra:
You sound like a good person

Thanks.

What does loyalty mean to you?

XhosaNostra:
Hmmmm...what's your definition of loyal?

Good morning, btw. Sorry I fell asleep midst our conversation last night.

Loyalty means not forgetting how important a person is to you. Being consistent in wishing and working for their best interests.


With my male friends it means NEVER desiring their woman or a woman I know they have interest in. It also means not going for someone they have history with. When there is an opportunity to make money and together, as long as there's won't be any clashes as a result, I should remember them first.

XhosaNostra:
So you're two-faced?
Shallow could also mean emotionally. As in, you rarely "delve that deep" & prefer to be superficial because too much anything makes you feel uncomfortable or whatever.

I am not two-faced but that's how some persons see being neutral. I can get along with people who can't get along with each other. There are people who expect you to be enemies with their enemies because you are friends with them.

Emotionally, I can be an iceberg floating on water. What you see may be just the tip. I might be perceived easily as shallow because of that.

Good morning. Nature is Lord over everyone.

XhosaNostra:
Lol, are you sure about that? Sometimes people may not notice or see certain traits in themselves.

One time a friend of mine called me selfish lol. I nearly lost my mind when she said it because I'm too giving of my time etc. But she gave me a few instances & examples of my selfish acts that don't relate to the things I pride myself on. Like my disinterest when she talks about her relationships nonstop & yet I could talk about my own issues until I'm hoarse lol. It was then that I realized I can be selfish & self-centered sometimes

And I have never been called shallow in my entire life. Quite often I have heard the opposite.
But you see I did not say anything about the other negative qualities you listed.

Loyalty I think is the one quality that makes a man a man. If you are not loyal especially to the people that matter to you, you should not call yourself a man.

I understand though that people may want it expressed in areas that you personally may not consider important.

XhosaNostra:
So you don't consider yourself a blabbermouth?

Not anywhere near Trump.

XhosaNostra:
Two-faced...from my own experience. Shallow. Flighty. Disloyal. Moody. Crazy.

Disloyal and shallow do not describe me at all.
I can be moody sometimes though.

XhosaNostra:
Water signs are sometimes hard to relate to because they're the opposite of air sign. We're "unemotional" or more driven by logic than emotions

I agree with this.

XhosaNostra:
I used him as an example because he's the talkative Gemini archetype lol.

I'm an Aquarius. Aquarius, Gemini & Libra are air signs. Air signs = communicators. We have a natural talent for words, written or spoken, that's where we excel. We shut people up

So what are the weaknesses of Geminis?

I find that I am better with one-liners.
That's why I am more of a poetry than a prose person.
I like to communicate with innuendos. I like to say a lot with very few words.

XhosaNostra:
Now I also understand why we can talk for hours nonstop. Our signs are compatible & similar for the most part. We bounce off each other. Funny thing though is, I don't get along with compatible signs in real life, only online. My sister is a Gemini we're like oil & water.

So your own sign is what? What signs would I find it difficult relating with?

XhosaNostra:
Very talkative, most are. Think Trump, he's also a Gemini. Usually, they're excellent with words, funny, smart etc.

Why Trump of all people?
But you are the one who's excellent with words. What's your sign?

XhosaNostra:
June 16? You share a birthday with Tupac. That makes you a Gemini. Leo started a couple of days ago until the 24 of next month.

Oh so I am not Leo?

What are Geminis like?

XhosaNostra:
June 16? You share a birthday with Tupac. That makes you a Gemini. Leo started a couple of days ago until the 24 of next month.

You see? You can now understand the contradictions I embody now. Tupac was a thug who was very much in touch with his feminine side. He could be talking about blasting guns in one minute and singing a song for the ladies in the next.

XhosaNostra:
You said it's too hillbilly for you though

Thugs do fall in love you know. Lol

XhosaNostra:
You once told me you're a leo
Which date?

16th.

What period of the year are Leos born?

XhosaNostra:
But not all songs are good in an album. I can't imagine listening to a whole album without skipping a lot of songs. I'm more of a "Greatest hits" person if I'm to listen to one person's music.

Yeah, it's true. But the albums I own are usually the ones I can play without skipping tracks. I don't own that many albums.
Like I don't skip tracks on Amy Winehouse's Back to Black' album or Asa's self titled debut album or Kanye West's Late Registration

XhosaNostra:
So next month is your birthday, right?

Last month.

XhosaNostra:
Hmmmm...you didn't strike me as a romantic lol. But yeah, you're right. It cheapens the act to be more about gratification than anything else.

But aren't people who listen to country music supposed to be romantic?

XhosaNostra:
Anything & everything just as long as it sounds good or goes with whatever mood I'm in. I'm very weird about music. Some days I can only take a particular type of music & be completely turned off by the rest. It depends where I'm at emotionally/mentally.

I am actually more of an album person. I usually would just listen to an artist at a time. Some albums just have a theme that runs through them that develops gradually from track to track.

XhosaNostra:
Lol, I find it hot But I don't see myself ever getting too close & personal with another girl. Ewwww.

Why do you say that? Thought men like the idea of having more than one woman to please.

I don't really think there can be intimacy in a thre.es.ome.

XhosaNostra:
I see what you mean. I also prefer creativity, storytelling & depth in music too. I don't like empty songs. Unfortunately, crap sells nowadays hence there aren't that many people with real talent.

True.

So what's your own genre?

XhosaNostra:
LMAO. I share your sentiments, tbh. I would never date someone that's bisexual because that's gay whichever way you look at it.
Well, I'm not sure why it's much easier for women. Perhaps it could be the fact that most people think it's hot when two girls get it on. IDK.

When I was much younger, I used to think having two girls get it on was hot too. Now it just looks retarded to me. Does not turn me on one bit.

Once a man experiments with that stuff, he is bleeped for life.
