kopesa
koh-PE-sa
give
French: donner
Kopesa mbongo na bana.
Give money to the children.
Donne de l'argent aux enfants.
To give — the open hand of the culture. Kopesa is to give. The gift, the wage, the favour, the word of thanks — Congolese life turns on small giving. The base verb already carries "to give to"; the extended kopesela is largely redundant.
