English/Eswatini Conversations

Pats Oases visit to The Kingdom of Eswatini

Spectacular Swaziland!

Sometime back, I visited The Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) in the southern part of Africa and I was amazed by their rich culture so much that I learnt a little Swazi language. Below are some conversations I had with my friends from The Kingdom of Eswatini:

Hello – Saubona (singular), Sanibonani (plural)

How are you? –               Unjani

I’m fine –              Nyaphila

I’m fine and you? –         Wena Ke

My name is Pat      –         Lami ngu Pat

I am from Kenya – Ngiwase Kenya

Good bye (stay well) –     Sala kahle

Go well –                          Hamba kahle
