Swahili, my first time..
Posted on | January 26, 2006 | No Comments
I have here an audio post, the idea came to me about 30 minutes or so after posting yesterdays challenge (which you are more than welcome to take up btw *grin* assuming you haven’t already of course…)
Basically – you can all head over and thank daddy Mutta for this, quite frankly, pathetic attempt at using another language. It’s short at least – I don’t claim to be as talkative as the mango radio bunch…
chakula – “chah-koo-lah” – food
kiti – “kee-tee” – chair
ruka – “roo-kah” – jump
1 – one – moja (mo-jah)
2 – two – mbili (mm-bee-lee)
3 – three – tatu (tah-too)
4 – four – nne (nn-nay)
5 – five – tano (tah-no)
6 – six – sita (see-tah)
7 – seven – saba (sah-bah)
8 – eight – nane (nah-nay)
9 – nine – tisa (tee-sah)
10 – ten – kumi (koo-me)
“Kwaheri, tuta onana mwaka mpya”!
