biso
BI-so
us
French: nous
Pesa biso mai.
Give us water.
Donne-nous de l'eau.
Us — the circle that says "we" and means it. Biso is we and us; biso nyonso is all of us. In a communal culture the line around biso is drawn wide — family, neighbours, the whole gathering — and "pesa biso" asks on behalf of everyone.
