Now Ishimwe knows the new boy’s name: Niyonzima.
He wants to know more. Does Niyonzima live near him?
Today you will ask where people live.
Où means where. (In Kinyarwanda: he?)
Look at the little mark on the ù. It tells you: this is the where word.
Où habites-tu ? means Where do you live? (In Kinyarwanda: Utuye he?)
Friends also say: Tu habites où ? It means the same.
The answer is: J’habite à …
Ishimwe : « Où habites-tu, Niyonzima ? »
Niyonzima : « J’habite à Kigali. Et toi ? »
Ishimwe : « Moi aussi ! J’habite à Kigali. »
Moi aussi means me too.
