Odio!
Iza izao?
Miora ihany ity!
Hay! Mandrosoa! mbola aty amin’ny lakozia za fa tonga dia midira, azafady! Tsy mihidy lakile ny varavarana.
Knock knock
Who is it?
This is Miora.
Hey! Come in! I’m still in the kitchen, but come in now, please! The door is not locked.
Eny ary e. Efa ato an-trano za.
Ho avy za… ah, manahoana Miora! Tongasoa aty an-trano ianao.
Well yes, it’s already a home! Hi Miora! Welcome to this house.
Za is a contracted version of zaho/aho
When e is at the end, should read it as singing, meant to be intonation
Manahoana Tantely! Tsara be ny tranonao. Malalaka be. Misy efatrano firy ity izao?
Hi Tantely! Your house is great. Very spacious. How many rooms are there?
Efatra. Mbola vao mampiditra latabatra, seza, fandriana sy kidoro, ary fanaka samihafa aho izao. Tsara mihintsy, fa misy olana kety. Mbola mila amboarina ny tafo. Soa fa tsy avy ny orana androany!
I am still adding tables, chairs, beds, and mattresses, and different furniture. It’s good, but there is a small problem. The roof still needs to be repaired. Good thing it’s not raining today!
Soa ihany tokoa! Ary misy tokotany ve?
Good luck! And is there a yard?
Eny, misy tokotany kely manodidina ny trano. Vao hanisy fefy mihitsy aho amin’ny herinandro.
Yes, there is a small yaround the house. I will be putting up a fence next week.
Vao is used before a future tense verb
Tena tsara ity tranonao vaovao ity. Lazao aho raha misy azoko anampiana amin’izao fifindranao izao.
Yur new house is very nice. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with you transition.
Ao fa ho lazaiko mihitsy ianao e. Misaotra mialoha.
I will tell you. Thanks in advance.
Tsy misy fisaorana e! Izay no maha mpinamana antsika
No thanks needed! That is why we are friends!
