After spending part of my week looking over survey responses in Kiswahili, I thought about the vocabulary that I’ve learned related to my project.
This is what learning Kiswahili looks like sometimes (a lot like data entry!)
Time for some Kiswahili vocabulary about tomatoes, plants diseases, and soil!
Nyanya = tomato
Magonwa ya nyanya = tomato disease (in this case, early blight)
Shamba = field, farm
Miche = seedlings
Mkulima = farmer
Wakulimu = farmers
Mwanafunzi na walimu = student and teachers
Udongo mfinyanzi = clay soil (in the shape of a tembo)
Udongo mchanga = sandy soil
Udongo tifutifu = loam soil
Mbuzi = goat (you never know what you’ll find in the field!)
