Could someone give me the correct pronounciation in these languages for the word 'battery'.
or 'car battery'. Is there maybe slang in Zulu, Xhosa or Sotho for a car battery?
Thanks for your help in advance.

battery=(Zulu)ilahle,this word was derived from PP9 PM9 radio batteries that used substances that look like coal inside, hence the elders called it ilahle.
I remember those PM9 batteries very well. Would iLahle be the word mostly used to describe any kind of battery? If I go to a car battery shop and ask for an Ilahle, would the guys know I mean car battery and not a radio battery?

Some of the Koh Samui villas are set on peaceful hills adjoining sea. So, when a sea wave hits the big boulders below, you are actually able to experience some butterflies in your stomachs. Such is the experience of the exotic locales where these Samui villas are located. The villas are located in peaceful places, but not much far from action. You can anytime visit the flee market to buy exotic sea shells, or belts made from fish’s skin for you dear and near ones.
