Limaperekanso zambiri pa chilichonse mwa nkhanizi kudzera muzithunzi - zatsatanetsatane, limodzi ndi matchati ndi matebulo.

Lipotilo linanena kuti mawu oti “mlendo” amatanthauza alendo amene amabwera pazifukwa zonse —  tchuthi/chisangalalo, ochezera abwenzi ndi achibale, amalonda, zipembedzo, mayendedwe ndi zina.
