Kutengera ndi zomwe akufuna, zingwe zamagetsi zimatha kugawidwa m'mitundu yosiyanasiyana, kuphatikiza zingwe zotumizira, zingwe zowongolera, zingwe zoyankhulirana, zingwe za zida, ndi zingwe zowonera. Kutengera mawonekedwe awo, amatha kugawidwanso kukhala zingwe zam'mwamba ndi zingwe zapansi. Kuphatikiza apo, zingwe zamagetsi zimatha kugawidwa pazifukwa zosiyanasiyana, monga zida za conductor, zida zopangira, komanso kuchuluka kwamagetsi.
Zingwe zamagetsi pazifukwa zosiyanasiyana zimakhala ndi mawonekedwe apadera komanso malo ogwiritsira ntchito. Mwachitsanzo, zingwe zamagetsi zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri-pamagetsi othamanga kwambiri-pakutumiza mphamvu zambiri, makamaka pamagetsi okwera kwambiri. Zingwe zowongolera, komabe, zimapereka zabwino monga chitetezo chamagetsi chamagetsi ndi kufalitsa kodalirika, ndipo zimagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka pamakina owongolera ndi kuwunikira. Mukamagwiritsa ntchito zingwe zamagetsi, ndikofunikira kusankha mtundu woyenera wa chingwe ndi mawonekedwe ake malinga ndi momwe akugwiritsira ntchito.
