Another example,Alitupa zawadiwhich means "He/She gave us gifts".First of all note that in the Swahili language, the pronouns are the samefor all the genders - he, him, she, and her are not distinguishable inSwahili - same words, prefixes, affixes and suffixes are used. The wellsought after "gender equality" is in-built in the Swahili language!! Nowback to the sentence. The prefixA- stands for the subject "He" or "She",the -li- affix indicates the past tense, the -tu- affix stands for the object"us", and -pa is the root of the verb "give".

More examples:

Nilikula- I ateNimekula- I have eatenNinakula- I am eatingNitakula- I will eat

Days of the Week

In Swahili, Saturday is the first day of the week. The sixth day of the week,Thursday, is mostly pronounced as "Alkhamisi" to match the way it ispronounced in its Arabic origin. Thursday and Friday both are of Arabicorigin. They probably replaced the original Bantu names of those daysdue to their special place in the Islamic religion. Note that in Arabic,"Alkhamis" means the fifth day of the Arabic week while Thursday isactually the sixth day of the Swahili week! Sort of we ended up with twofifth days of the week: "Jumatano" and "Alkhamisi"!

Time

It is interesting to note that in the Swahili culture the day starts at sunrise(unlike in the Arab world where the day starts at sunset, and in theWestern world where the day starts at midnight). Sunrise in East Africa,being exactly at the Equator, happens every day at approximately 6:00

a.m. And for that reason, 6:00 a.m. is "0:00 morning" Swahili time. By"Swahili time" I mean the time as spoken in Swahili.

So the hands of a watch or clock meant to read Swahili time would alwayspoint to a number opposite to the number for the actual time as spoken inEnglish. That is, the Swahili time anywhere in the world (not just EastAfrica) is delayed by 6 hours.

Therefore 7:00 a.m. is "1:00 morning" (saa moja asubuhi) Swahili time;midnight is "6:00 night" (saa sita usiku) Swahili time. 5:00 a.m. is "11:00early morning" (saa kumi na moja alfajiri) Swahili time.

Note also that the Swahili time doesn't use "noon" as the reference as ina.m. (before noon) and p.m. (after noon). The time is spoken using"alfajiri" which is the early morning time during which the morning lighthas started to shine but the sun has not risen yet; "asubuhi" which is the
