Macalin Posted November 18, 2003 Yo,I laughed my Brains out when someone sent Me this....and i Seen THIS: For My Non swahili speaking FOLKS...SADDLE UP...and we will be able to TRANSLATE IT after a week..lol Tanzania has rejected a new appointed Japanese ambassador to the country. The Tanzanian General Secretary in the President's Office sent a refutation letter to the Japanese Prime Minister early today. In the brief letter, the General Secretary expressed his apology that the newly appointed ambassador will not be allowed to take the post in Tanzania due to the contradictions that his and his wife's names will cause in the Swahili speaking society. However, The General Secretary added that the issue should not be taken as a personal matter and that the ambassador will be allowed to serve the post in Tanzania if his and his wife's names will be changed. Ambassador Takauchi Kumamoto and his wife Kunyamavi Kayashika were expected to arrive in Dar Es Salaam this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted November 20, 2003 Salaan... This reminds me to a story this barbiyeeri guy was telling us the other day. Those two Jaamacis knew one another in back Soomaaliya and then war came, losing to have contact. Fortunately, both came to Tansaaniya. They met incidently in one crowded daylight at a suuq in Dara-Salaam. One was called Burhaan. When both saw one another, the other called Burhaan from distance, shouting, "Waa kuma...waa kuma...!" {just imagine how a typical Jaamac shouts} To the astonishment of Tanzanian folks who were already surprised, Burhaan responded "Waa Burhaan*!" They started hugging. Tanzanians were dumbfounded, thinking those two folks are insulting the ultimate and hugging one another. _______________ * Burhan is a slang word in Tanzanian Sawaaxili, and I can't translate what it means in here. ________________ Soon Wanaagsan.
