East Africa is a beautiful place to visit, or even live for a while. Knowing a little of Swahili before you go will endear the people toward you and start your trip off right.

First things first, learn your greetings:

Saying ‘Hello and Good Morning are a must in East Africa. You would never start a conversation without a sufficient greeting.

Even when my friend found me screaming on my bed, trying to kill a huge spider, he first said “Kelly how are you? How was your trip to Tanga? Did you sleep well?”.

I answered all three questions before he would even start to talk about the spider.

Jambo “Hello!” A friendly “Jambo” goes a long way.

Habari Also “Hello / Good Morning.” Use this one when speaking with older people.

Nzuri “Beautiful / Good / Nice / I am fine.”

Shikamo Literally “I hold your feet.” This greeting is for your elders. Young children will often mutter Shikamo under their breath when you walk by. It may sound like “Sh…ooo”.

Marahaba The reply to “Shikamo”. Literally translated to something like “ I am delighted, I don’t get that every day.”

Other useful phrases that will come in handy:

Asante “Thank you!” You will use this word the most in your conversations.

Sana (very) Used as in Asante-sana– Thank you VERY much.

Pole– “I am sorry for your misfortune.” This applies to everything from getting chalk dust on your clothes, to tripping, dropping an item or sneezing.

Pole pole “Slowly, slowly.” Everything is pole pole in Africa.

Chakula– “FOOD!” If you hear this word, walk towards the place you heard it.

Nydio / Hapana “Yes and No” respectively. Some phrasebooks will tell you that hapana is rude. It is not. As long as you don’t say it forcefully, you are fine. I haven’t heard another word for ‘no’ since I have been here.

Hatari “DANGER!!!!!” This could be a snake in the road or a warning about an endemic in the area. Take note and proceed with caution.
 

   Come!   See!  Enjoy!!!

We are a family run bed and breakfast in Moshi, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. We pride our selfs on our friendly staff, clean environment and great value service.
