Keitumetse
Setswana for "I am happy", the perfect-tense form of itumela, to rejoice.
Meaning and origin
Keitumetse is built on the same verb as Itumeleng, itumela, to rejoice, but puts it in the perfect tense with the first-person prefix ke-, so it states "I have become glad" rather than issuing a command.
