Daily Life, Big Smiles—Kid Language in Swahili
Kids don’t need fancy words they need fun, useful ones they can use every day! In Swahili, there’s a whole world of friendly, easy vocabulary that helps children greet others, ask for help, and express themselves in ways that feel natural and joyful.
Words Kids Use All the Time
- Habari – How are you?
- Nzuri – Good/fine
- Tafadhali – Please
- Asante – Thank you
- Nisaidie – Help me
- Sawa – Okay or all right
- Hapana / Ndiyo – No / Yes
- Twende – Let’s go
These are the words of daily play, kindness, and connection—perfect for kids to learn first.
Learning Language That Feels Like Home
When kids learn language they can use with friends, family, or even during pretend games, it sticks! These words show up in songs, stories, and casual chats and hearing them often helps build confidence.
With games, songs, and fun daily scenarios, Dinolingo’s Swahili course turns everyday learning into joyful language play.
