The word, masimba, makes for a hilarious false friend in some Bantu languages

In chiShona, it translates to power/strength Iplurall. In isiZulu, it translates to literal shit. Jehova una masimba sounds wild in isiZulu.

You wouldn’t believe what the word, masimba, translates to, in some Bantu languages. There are many more like this since Bantu languages are sometimes closely related.

Like and share if you’d like to see more of these🙂

Two models holding up a lettered Mylar ballon that spells out “Love”. One of the models is wearing a tshirt with a partly solved crossword of words for “love” in a few different African languages.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Afrofam! May love and care, in all its forms, grace you in the coming months 🙏🏿
