insult

Generalverb

French: insulter

Kofinga moninga ezali mabe.

Insulting a friend is wrong.

Insulter un ami, c'est mal.

To insult — words flung to wound. Kofinga is the infinitive "to insult or curse at someone." A culture that prizes respectful speech treats kofinga as a real offence — "kofinga moninga ezali mabe" is plain wisdom.
