We've now learned a whole year of
Russian!
Wow!
Let's try another language now, how about
Swahili?
This is the language millions of people speak in different countries across the continent of Africa, like Burundi, Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
Let's learn how to say hello and goodbye in Swahili!
There are a few ways to say Hello, Hi or What's up.
These words aren't used much anymore, but they mean Hello:
Jambo - Sounds like jah-m-boh
文A
Hujambo - Sounds like hoo-jah-m-boh
文A
Just like in English a lot of times we say things like What's Up to say Hi, Swahili has the same kind of things.
What's News? -
Habari - Sounds like hah-bah-ree
文A
How's it going? -
Mambo - Sounds like mah-m-boh
文A
If you are going to say hello to an older person or someone who is in charge like a teacher or a police officer, you use this word which means something like Greetings.
Shikamoo - Sounds like sh-ih-kah-moo
文A
