sijuis where art thou

Post by The_Patriot »

Hi, here is for a good laugh, after public smoking was banned in kenya , each town clerk was assigned the duty of posting notices in kiswahili to that effect. See how different councils posted this advert: other councils are still working on theirs.......
The coast town clerk wrote: uvutaji wa sigara umepigwa marufuku kuanzia leo.watakaopatikana wakikiuka amri hii wataadhibiwa kwa mujibu wa sheria. Nyote zingatieni.

The kiambu town clerk: wanyuanji wa thigara washunge sana . Unyuanji wa thigara bere ya watu hata huko ije umefigwa marufuku na kaju kuanjia reo.
The machakos town clerk: wavulutanji tusikala wasunge sana. Sasa kuvuluta tusikala ni maluvuku na kanzu ya masaku itawasukulia atua kuvwa sana.
The kisumu town clerk: atenson plis!!! mifuto sgara adharani sasa omepigwa marofuku. Okipaatwa ibiro yie kodiaga! apana furuta plis!!
wajir town clerk: habana iko buruta sigara. Yeye lishapigwa marufuku na sisi tagaamata mutu bhahala yaghe kiburuta.
Kericho town clerk: gutoga leo gugunywa na gufuruta sigara sisi nagshagataasa. Haguna!! charipu wee taona!!!

I'm still baffled as to how people insist Swahili is a romantic language.

To learn broken random Af Nairobi is easy. To learn proper sanifu and fasaha and oh my goodness to write insha with similes and metaphors and vocabulary. Madax xanuun.

Kiswahili was a torture for us in school. :lol:
How I hated I remember I once got 20% in that subject.
Shit was hard :lol: :lol: :lol:
In exam I remember turning over the pages several times looking for easy poems/literature even though it was just few pages to turn I thought in the end a miracle will happen and the paper will turn out easy. But to my dismay the paper was solid.

Some folks will just create their own question and answer it just to console themselves. :lol:
