Tips for natural speech
- Respect agglutinative prefixesSiSwati attaches noun prefixes directly to roots; ensure words are spelt as single units to preserve correct syllable stress.
- Format numbers and currencySpell out figures or currency amounts in full words if you want precise linguistic phrasing rather than numeric shorthand.
- Punctuate for breathing and cadenceUse commas and periods intentionally to let the AI voice pause naturally around relative clauses and long compound clauses.
