Amasiko adluliselwa ngomlomo adlala indima ebalulekile ekulondolozweni nasekudlulisweni komlando, amasiko, nolwazi emphakathini wamaZulu. La masiko adluliselwa ngomlomo ahlanganisa izindaba, izinganekwane, izaga, amaculo, nezinhlu zozalo ezidluliselwa kwesinye isizukulwane kuye kwesinye.

Izindaba Nezinganekwane: Amasiko axoxwayo esiZulu acebile ngezindaba kanye nezinganekwane ezilandisa ngomlando, imvelaphi, kanye nezenzo zobuqhawe zabantu bakwaZulu. Lezi zindaba ngokuvamile zikhuluma ngokhokho abavelele, izidalwa zasenganekwaneni, nezenzakalo ezibalulekile. Zisebenza njengendlela yokuxhumanisa izizukulwane zamanje nesikhathi sazo esidlule futhi zidlulisele izifundo zokuziphatha kanye nezindinganiso zamasiko.

Izaga: Izaga zingamafuphi, amazwi ahlakaniphileyo ahlanganisa ubuhlakani bendabuko kanye nezimiso zomphakathi. Zivame ukusetshenziselwa ukufundisa nokuqondisa abantu ezimweni ezihlukahlukene. Izaga zesiko lamaZulu zaziwa ngokuthi “izaga” futhi zikhuluma ngezihloko eziningi ezihlanganisa inhlonipho, ubuholi, umndeni kanye nomphakathi.

Izingoma Nezinkondlo: Umculo nezinkondlo zibamba indawo evelele emasikweni axoxwayo esiZulu. Izingoma namavesi esankondlo asetshenziselwa ukuveza imizwelo, ukugubha izikhathi ezibalulekile, nokulandisa ngezenzakalo zomlando. Avame ukwenziwa ngesikhathi semikhosi, amasiko, kanye nemibuthano yomphakathi, okunikela ekulondolozeni ubunikazi bamasiko kanye nokubumbana komphakathi.

Izizukulwane: Izizukulwane, ezaziwa ngokuthi “isibongo,” zilandelela uhlu lozalo lwezibongo zamaZulu. Banikeza irekhodi lemvelaphi yomndeni, okhokho ababalulekile, nokuxhumana nezinye izibongo. Izizukulwane zisebenza njengomthombo wobunikazi, ukuzigqaja, nokubumbana komphakathi phakathi komndeni, okuqinisa umuzwa wokuba yingxenye kanye namagugu okwabelwana ngawo.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi amasiko adluliselwa ngomlomo awagxilile noma awafani. Zingahluka ngokwezizwe ngezizwe kanye nezifunda ngezifunda, zikhombisa ulwazi oluhlukile kanye nemibono yemiphakathi eyahlukene yamaZulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amasiko omlomo ayashintshashintsha futhi angashintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi njengoba izindaba ezintsha nolwazi kufakwa endabeni yamasiko.

Sekukonke, amasiko adluliselwa ngomlomo ayingxenye ebalulekile yesiko lamaZulu, asiza ekugcineni umuzwa wokuqhubekela phambili, ukudlulisa ulwazi kusuka kwesinye isizukulwane kuye kwesinye, nokuqinisa amagugu namasiko achaza ubuZulu.
