Editing Chewa language (section)

====Object infix====
The use of an object infix is not obligatory in Chewa (for example, {{lang|ny|ndagula}} means 'I have bought (them)'). If used, it comes immediately before the verb root, and agrees with the object:
*{{lang|ny|ndamúona}} 'I have seen him/her'; {{lang|ny|ndawáona}} 'I have seen them' (sometimes shortened to {{lang|ny|ndaáona}}).

The object infix of classes 16, 17, and 18 is usually replaced by a suffix: {{lang|ny|ndaonámo}} 'I have seen inside it'.

The same infix with verbs with the applicative suffix {{lang|ny|-ira}} represents the indirect object, e.g. {{lang|ny|ndamúlembera}} 'I have written to him'.
