It is early in the morning. Uwase packs her school bag.
Does she have everything? Let's check with her, in French!
| Français | English |
|---|---|
| le cartable | the school bag |
| le cahier | the exercise book |
| le livre | the book |
| la trousse | the pencil case |
| le crayon | the pencil |
| le stylo | the pen |
| la gomme | the eraser (rubber) |

In Kinyarwanda: le cartable is igikapu, le cahier is ikayi, le livre is igitabo, and le crayon or le stylo is ikaramu.
Maman : Uwase, tu as ton cahier ?
Uwase : Oui, j'ai mon cahier.
Maman : Et ta règle ?
Uwase : Oh non ! Ma règle est sur la table !
Tu as …? = Do you have …? sur la table = on the table.
