[thesunwillshineonme]

i love your accent

[kulmansam]

@thesunwillshineonme :-) Asante sana = thank you very much

[kulmansam]

@windstorm1000 :-) that makes more sense :-).

Jambo is a word that is used some times as I do in these lessons as a greeting. Short form of "hujambo?" = how are you.

The real independent word 'jambo' is a word that is used to refer to 'an event' or 'action' that has taken place.

example: ukijua jambogani unalipenda sans, basi kulifuata sikazi = if you know what it is that you love, then to pursue it is not work

@kulmansam The restaurant name is Jambo--I finally got it spelled right.

[kulmansam]

@windstorm1000 :-) Jumba may be right. Stands for 'House' actually stands for 'Big House' LOL

[windstorm1000]

@kulmansam Are you serious?! wait a minute--it might be "Jumba"--I can't imagine him calling his restaurant 'fart cafe". anyhow, its really good food. thanking for taking the time to share your language--its quite musical.

@windstorm1000 :-) Yes East Coast (Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, parts of Zaire, parts of Somalia). LOL Jamba means (pass gass! or fart! hahaha).

I am not sure if it is widely spoken, but there have been attempts to make it continental language of Africa in 60's and 70's. During the rule of Julius Nyerere, Kenneth Kaunda, Banda, Aboud Jumbe etc

[windstorm1000]

Now Swahili is on the east coast right?  Kenya, etc? (not on west coast--bantu, etc). I know one word "Jamba"--that is the name of the restaurant here!! Hello, I believe it means. Lots of allspice and goat!! And sweet potatoes! Swahili--largest spoken language in Africa??? Thank you so much for the lessons.
