Kiswahili

I’ve learnt a bit more Kiswahili now, but the lessons are getting harder and harder and we now have to try to speak it and use the language a bit more which is really hard. Today we had an especially exhausting lesson were we walked all the way to Java and practiced ordering cookies and milkshakes.

Here are some new useful things to know:

Kuva = To kill

Jinga = Stupid

Nene = Fatt (which is a very nice thing to call someone here in Kenya)

Wewe ni nene = You are fatt (the ultimate compliment)

Mti = Three

Weka takataka hapa = Put the garbage here

Kila kitu sawasawa = Everything is fine

Punda = Donkey

Punda milia = Zebra

Wewe ni nyota = You are a star
