Impande yingxenye yezitshalo esemhlabathini. Ezinye izingxenye ezimbili ezibalulekile zesitshalo yisiqu namaqabunga. Izimpande zikhona ukuze zivumele isitshalo ukuthi simunce amanzi nezakhamzimba emhlabathini. Lokhu kwenzeka ngezinwele zezimpande ezinhle.
Izinto ezithile nazo zikhiqizwa ezimpandeni ukuze isitshalo sikhule kahle. Izimpande nazo zinikeza indawo yokuma emhlabathini: izitshalo ezinezimpande kahle azikwazi ukuphephuka kalula, zikhukhulwe, noma zikhishwe.
Izimpande zingahluka kakhulu. Ezinye izitshalo zinezimpande ezihamba ziqonde emhlabathini. Ama-beet nawo ayizimpande, agcina imisoco. Ezinye izitshalo zinezimpande ezingashoni ezilele ebusweni bomhlaba futhi azimi ndawonye. Isibonelo salokhu ama-spruces, avame ukuchithwa yisiphepho kanye nezimpande zawo. Kukhona nezitshalo lapho ezinye izimpande zimila khona ngaphezu komhlabathi. Izimpande ezinjalo zasemoyeni ziyaziwa, isibonelo, kusuka ku-mistletoe: izimpande zingena esihlahleni lapho i-mistletoe ikhula khona.
Ingabe isitshalo simila empandeni ngayinye?
Akumele kube njena. Impande iyingxenye ephansi kakhulu yesitshalo. Lokhu okubonayo kuyakhula kuye. Yingakho igama elithi “impande” libuye lisetshenziswe kwezinye izinto.
Okwaziwa kakhulu mhlawumbe impande yezinwele. Isesikhumbeni. Ulokhu ekhula ungqimba olulodwa ngesikhathi, ephusha izinwele eziba zinde futhi zibe zinde. Ngakho izinwele zikhula kusukela empandeni, hhayi ichopho.
Amazinyo nawo anezimpande. Amazinyo obisi mancane, yingakho amazinyo obisi ewa kalula. Amazinyo ahlala njalo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, anezimpande ezinde kakhulu, ngokuvamile ezinde kunamazinyo ngokwawo. Yingakho bebambe kangcono emhlathini. Kodwa-ke, kunzima kakhulu ukuzikhumula uma zibuhlungu kakhulu.
Ziningi ezinye izinhlobo zezimpande. Nakwizibalo kukhona isibalo esibizwa ngokuthi “ukuthatha impande”. Kodwa kukhona nesisho noma isisho esithi “impande yakho konke okubi”. Ngokwesibonelo, uma uthi, “Ukuhaha kuyimpande yakho konke okubi,” usho ukuthi yonke into embi ivela kubantu abafuna yonke into.
