Angry

Angry (adj)
-thukuthele, -nolaka

Umama wami ubengithukhuthelele ngokushiya indlu yogungezela imahlaphahlapha.
My mother was angry with me for leaving the bathroom in a mess.

I love:
the grammar lesson in the word: ubengithukuthelele
and the word
imahlaphahlapha - how perfect for a mess?

but
having to call a bathroom
indlu yogugenzela
(a tongue twister!)
is a but much.

Anger (n)
intukuthelo
ulaka -fierce temper
(igwebu, also provided by isizulu.net, seems otherwise to mean 'froth')

Ulaka lwakhe lozumbulala.
His fierce temper will kill him.
