Pronouncing Malagasy words can be quite straightforward once you understand a few basic rules. Here are some tips to help you with Malagasy pronunciation:

---

1. Vowels

Malagasy vowels are pronounced similarly to vowels in most Romance languages (e.g., Spanish, Italian):

• A: Sounds like "ah" (as in father)

• E: Sounds like "ay" (as in say)

• I: Sounds like "ee" (as in see)

• O: Sounds like "oo" (as in door) or "oh" (like in go) depending on context

• 
  

• Example:

• "Salama" (hello) is pronounced sah-LAH-mah.

---

2. Consonants

• H: Always pronounced, like the English "h" in hello. Example: Manahoana (how are you) is pronounced mah-nah-HOH-ah-nah.

• R: Rolled lightly, similar to the Spanish "r".

• Ts: Sounds like "ts" in cats. Example: Tsara (good) is pronounced TSAR-ah.

• J: Pronounced like the "dz" in adze. Example: Jereo (look) is pronounced dzay-RAY-oo.

• T: Pronounced with a soft touch, without aspiration (less breathy than in English).

• K: Also unaspirated, like the "k" in skate.

---

3. Stress

In Malagasy, the stress typically falls on the second-to-last syllable (penultimate syllable).

• Example:

  • Misaotra (thank you) is pronounced mee-SOW-trah.

  • Veloma (goodbye) is pronounced vay-LOO-mah.

---

4. Combining Vowels and Consonants

• Words often combine vowels smoothly. For example:

  • Anarana (name) is pronounced ah-nah-RAH-nah.

  • Faly mahalala anao (nice to meet you) is pronounced FAH-lee mah-HAH-lah-lah ah-NOW.

---

5. Diphthongs

Diphthongs (two vowel sounds combined) are pronounced clearly, but as a single syllable:

• Ai: Sounds like "eye". Example: Mahafaly (to make happy) is pronounced mah-hah-FAH-lee.

• Ao: Sounds like "ow" (as in how). Example: Ao (here) is pronounced OW.

---

6. Special Sounds

• Ng: Pronounced like the "ng" in sing. Example: Tonga (arrived) is pronounced TOO-ngah.

• Mp: Pronounced as one sound, starting with "m". Example: Mampianatra (to teach) is pronounced MAM-pee-ah-NAH-trah.

---

7. Speak Slowly and Clearly

Malagasy is a phonetic language, so every letter is pronounced. Don’t rush—take your time to pronounce each syllable.

 Chores

Morning sun it whispers hey

Time to start your busy day

Crack of dawn we're wide awake

Eggs and toast let's make a plate

[Verse 2]

Lunch is calling don't be late

Pan sizzles as veggies wait

Got the bread and spread it fine

Wrap it up it's eating time

[Chorus]

Every chore's a beat we groove

Dust and sweep without a snooze

Mop the floor then make it shine

Here's our rhythm feeling fine

[Verse 3]

Vacuum's hum a steady tune

In every room we make it bloom

Sucking up the week-old mess

Feel alive in cleanliness

[Verse 4]

Laundry tumbling down the lane

Fresh and clean no muddy stain

Hang it up or fold it tight

Every thread so crisp and bright

[Bridge]

Caring for our space so dear

Life's a concert loud and clear

Notes of love in every task

Harmony in each we ask

Niainga, hono, Ikotofetsy sy Imahakà, ka Ikotofetsy mponina avy any andrefana, ary Imahakà mponina avy any antsinanana. Ikotofetsy moa ‘ndeha hiatsinanana, ary Imahakà kosa ‘ndeha hiankandrefana, ka tafahaona teo an-dohasaha izy roa lahy dia nifampiharahaba.

Imahakà nitondra angady tanimanga voahosotra manjarano, fa Ikotofetsy kosa nitondra goaika tao anaty harona. Nifanantsafa izy roa lahy hoe : «  Inona izato entina, raondriana ? » Dia hoy ny navalin’i Imahakà : «  angady no entiko, ‘ndeha hatakaloko akoho. » Fa niteny Ikotofetsy hoe : «  Ny ahy kosa akoho ‘ndeha hatakaloko angady . » « Raikitra izany », hoy Imahakà, « ka ‘ndeha àry itsizy hifanakalo. »

« Kanefa, hoy Ikotofetsy, » aza sokafanao aty an-dàlana ny harona, fa akoho kaody sady tsy mifatotra, ka andrao rifatra mandositra ka manahirana anao . »

Fa namaly kosa Imahakà hoe : «  Angady vao naofana izy, fa vao notainina, ka avelao hiotrika kely aloha, fa aza malaky atombotomboka, fandrao banga. » Dia samy lasa nody izy roa lahy.

Rehefa samy tonga tany an-tranony avy izy, dia nosokafana ny an’Imahakà, ka riatra nanidina ny goaika ; ary nahombo tamin’ny zarany kosa ny angadin’Ikotofetsy, ka nony natontona tamin’ny tany dia torotoro. Dia samy vaky vava hoe izy : «  Adray izany hafetsentsika roa lahy izany ! »
