16. Swahili 101: Proverbs/Swahili Sayings

Proverbs are beautiful phrases wich carry a lot of meaning. Swahili as a universal language (borrowing from other languages of the world) has many many of these sayings. I have chosen a few from the book called
"Swahili Sayings in English & Arabic". Accompanying text can be found on my website at http://kulmansam.com/kiswahili/swahili_proverbs.html

Would you mind spelling these out and emailing them to me?

[kulmansam]

@ordoqui TEXT is already there, when watching video, could you please turn on ClosedCaption at bottom right of the video window (red color CC)

@kulmansam Yes true we can

@sn00piedog I have spoken to people who speak Congolese Swahili.. we can understand part of what they say and they too can understand part of what we say... they mix theirs with their langauge. But we cannot have 100% transparent communication/that is without difficulties, unless they switch to regular Swahili (which most of them can do that)

@kulmansam have you ever spoke to someone who speaks congolese Swahili if so can you understand the accent?
