Maneno ya siku: mpinduzi/wapinduzi
Tafsiri (translation): revolutionary/revolutionaries
"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."

Maneno kwa wazazi: ndoto nzuri
 Tafsiri (translation): Phrases for parents (literally "Words for parents"): Pleasant dreams

Note: Ndoto translates as dream or dreams. Nzuri translates as good or beautiful.
"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."

Maneno kwa wazazi: Phrases for parents (literally "Words for parents")
Sikiliza (pronounced see-kee-lee-zah): listen
Angalia (pronounced ahn-gah-lee-ah): look/watch
Acha (pronounced ah-cha): stop

Note: Kiswahili verbs are usually preceded by prefixes that indicate the subject of the action, the object of the action, and/or tense (past, present, future, etc.).

As commands you can omit these prefixes from the verb. When used in this manner these take the ending of -eni when given to multiple people. When adding -eni, you must drop the -a. Thus sikiliza becomes Sikilizeni, angalia becomes angalieni, and acha becomes acheni. Again, this is only when using these verbs as commands to multiple people. If you are using them with one person, then you do not need to modify the verb.
"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."
