Top 5: Words in Swahili


5. Safi – this means “great” – it’s a response for everything but the word is fun to say
4. Mwalimu – the Swahili word for “teacher” – I also love hearing it 5,000 times a day!
3. Poa – the response to mambo, which means what’s up – poa means “cool”
2. Tosha – this means “enough” – I yell it at my kids when they are bad
1. Nakupenda – this means “I love you” – I say this to my kids more than tosha haha

I’ve loved learning Swahili and hope to be better at it in the future… maybe even come back to Tanzania one day to live and work!
