I randomly came across this video & as a Kenyan I must say I enjoyed this. It always nice seeing/hearing the different dialects of Kiswahili & the Tanzanian version of Kiswahili is definitely the closest to how most of us in Kenya speak. I do think however that the Coastal people here in Kenya speak Kiswahili that resembles your version rather than the people of Nairobi for example. I understood pretty much every word you said without needing the subtitles & you reminded me of some old words I haven't used in a very long time like "Daladala" since here in Nairobi we tend to use a lot of English loan words. The cheese bit caught me off guard because I honestly wouldn't have known what the Swahili translation would be without looking it up but it seems like your dad was right with "Jibini". I have an Aunt who moved to the US around 23 years ago & I know she's had the same challenge of not having enough people to speak Kiswahili to so I can somewhat understand where you were coming from with this. I hope you find more people who can have conversations with you in Kiswahili in your day to day interactions.
I enjoyed this video but was also frustrated cause I hate being mocked for my American accent when I'm at least making the effort as a grown woman to learn Kikuyu and Swahili by the same people who never taught me lmao
how sad!! my cousin(well, we actually call each other bro) raised in sweden from age 2, is now well into his 30s, often comes back home to kenya and speaks near perfect dholuo to the amazement of all who dont know him as well as I do. He actually enjoys pranking people that he cant and only chips in convos in vernacular when he has heard enough of folks back biting him.
Video nzuri sana. Napenda namna unavyoongea kiswahili. Nimekuwa nikijufunza kiswahili kwa karibu mwaka moja, na video yako imenisaidia sana kujifunza maneno mapya. Asante :)
naipenda sana kiswahili chako!!!!!!!!! Nilifurahia sana kuisikiliza, video nzuri sana umenipe moyo kutengeneza vlog nyingine ya kiswahili pia, nimekumiss xxxx
Ninasambaza ujumbe kuwa uislamu ni hatari. Huwezi kuelewa kwa sababu uislamu wa afrika mashariki ni wakarimu wa kipekee. Kwa sababu ya historia. Uislamu ulitoka Oman. Wajua? Siku hizi upepo unavuma. Upepo wa salafism. Tafadhali usiwe kama saudi, iran, pakistan
