Need your linguistic skills for a minute. You are familiar with Swahili right (not sure of what you post sometimes is in fact Swahili thats why I am asking)? If so I was wondering if you could translate this for me, just to make sure that I got the right thing: utamu kumi na sita | ||

I used to date a Kenyan mwanamume. Actually he says "utamu" means "sweetness." If you really want, "sweet," it's "tamu." | ||

Cool thanx Jeff... Maybe you can ask him to translate "Symbol of Hope" for me? | ||

He says it doesn't translate well, but he'll double check with his dad. He did offer "malaika, which means "angel." | ||

Don't know if it matters but... Zulu writes Zulu up in here, sister tongue to Swazi which I used Swaziland which is adjacent to Zululand nka Kwazulu. (For the fussy their actual language names are sizulu & siswati) Swahili while having some similarities is actually quite different. | ||

Took me for ever to see this one, but thanks Lowell. Sometimes I write in Xhosa, which has minor derivations | ||
