How do you say the word denture in Zulu?

There isn't a direct, single-word translation for "denture" in Zulu. However, the most common way to express it would be:

Izinyo ezinamandla (ee-nyo eh-na-mand-la)

This literally translates to "strong teeth" and is used to refer to dentures, particularly full dentures.

Here are some other options:

* Izinyo ezingokwenziwa (ee-nyo eh-ngo-kwen-zee-wa): This means "artificial teeth" and is a more technical term.

* Izinyo zobuciko (ee-nyo zo-boo-chi-ko): This translates to "artistic teeth" and can be used in a playful or informal context.

You could also use a descriptive phrase like "Izinyo ezifakelwayo" (ee-nyo eh-zee-fa-kel-way-o) which means "teeth that are inserted".

Remember, the best way to express "denture" in Zulu will depend on the context and the level of formality desired.
