COMMON SWAHILI -DON’T & WARNING –SIGNS

Find the Swahili Public Area Signs you need amongst our wide range of selected Information Signs.

In this lesson you will learn how to say “I love you” in Swahili. The verb for to love is “-penda”.
However, it also means "like" so, depending on the context it can mean any of the two; love/like.

there fore; ninapenda simply mean I like or I love.
red=personal pronoun
green= time marker
purple= object infix

Since it’s a reflexive verb you have to put object infix as well to indicate to whom the verb is directed; To say “I love you”, say: “ninakupenda".............. to say "i love them", say ninawapenda

see personal pronouns(subject prefix) , tense markers and object infix in the tables below;

We live in a world of colors and in learning Swahili it will be very beneficial to learn these words. Whether you are describing things that you like or the colors in nature you will find these words to be very useful. In Swahili “color words” are adjectives and must be prefixed with special prefixes agreeing to noun classes with the noun that they’re describing.

ABOUT SWAHILI

Swahili is traditionally regarded as being the language of coastal areas of Tanzania and Kenya, formalised after independence by presidents of the African Great Lakes region. It was first spoken by natives of the coastal mainland and spread as a fisherman's language to the various islands surrounding the Swahili Coast. Traders from these islands had extensive contact with the coastal peoples from at least the 2nd century A.D. and Swahili began to spread along the Swahili Coast from at least the 6th century. There is also cultural evidence of early Zaramo people settlement on Zanzibar from Dar-es-salaam in present-day Tanzania. The African population of the island holds the tradition that it is descended from these early settlers

NOW it is the most widely spoken African language in the world, with over 50 million speakers. It is used as a lingua franca or trade language by many people in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, southern Somalia and northern coastal Mozambique. A version of Kiswahili is spoken as a first language by several million people in the eastern part of D.R. Congo. Most people in Kenya today speak at least some Kiswahili, and throughout Tanzania it is fast replacing local tongues as the first language of the new generation of children. If you plan to live, work, or travel in any of these areas, some knowledge of Kiswahili will help you communicate the way you want to.
