Habari

Habari gani? Jina langu ni Jostein. Natoka Unowe. Sijui yoyote Kiswahili, lakini nataka kujifunza.

Welcome to a fantastic language! It will be useful in a large block of African countries. I see that you speak fluent English. I consider myself an upper intermediate level Kiswahili speaker but you will find that for some reason one else corrects entries in this section. So a few things:

1. "Habari" means literally "news" and is usually but not always followed by something else:

"Habari gani" (Literally: What kind of news?) 

"Habari ya asubuhi?" (Lit.: News of the morning?)

"Habari yako" (Lit: What's your news? to one person)

"Habari zenu" (Lit: What's your news? to more than one person)

2. "yoyote" - not needed here. You will learn that this will need to agree with the noun Kiswahili and would become "chochote" for a noun from the Ki-/Vi noun class.

You can use plain "Habari". "Habari gani" is often used by foreigners, "wazungu".
