Learning Swahili

Every day, Kinnari and our World Vision partners have been teaching the team a few Swahili words. Here are a few that we have learned so far:
  • Jambo = hello
  • Habari ya asubuhi = good morning
  • Usiku mwema = good night
  • Tafadhali = please
  • Asante = thank you
  • Karibu = you are welcome
  • Pole = sorry
  • Pole pole = slow down
  • Chumvi = salt
  • Mwalimu = teacher
  • Mzungu/wazungu = white person/white people (we've heard this a lot!) 
  • Simba = lion
  • Rafiki = friend
