In the Shona language (or Chivanhu), ziso means eye. It's what you see with. In plural form you'd say maziso, or madziso. But here's the tricky part: ziso regumbo means ankle. Think of it like this: the ankle is the "eye" of the leg. It's the part that sees where the leg is going if you will! So, ziso can mean different things depending on the words around it.
Examples of how you might use "ziso" in a sentence:
- Ziso rangu riri kurwadza. (My eye is hurting.)
- Akavhura maziso ake. (He opened his eyes.)
- Tarisa nemaziso ako! (Look with your eyes!)
"Ziso" can also be used in some idiomatic expressions:
- Kuva neziso guru: To be greedy.
- Kuisa ziso pane chimwe chinhu: To keep an eye on something.
