Ahaaa haaa haaa
The colonial hangover will one day kill you. Who told you that the world is fond of a good spoken queen's language. If that was the case, the economy of Zimbabwe would be surpassing of that of China and Japan.

If only your country men and President would be as fluent as you are, then your country would be very much ahead.

Don't get confused with the likes of China and Japan, for how long do you think they have been using their native language? And do you think before European/ Western Civilization came to be these people were like you maji maji witchcraft? C'mon China had the great Wall of China Japan resisted the Mongol Invasion long before your an ancestors knew how to cloth themselves. Mandarin is spoken by more than a billion people, Japanese by More than 300million people, Hii Kiswahili hata haijafika 200million lakini umeikwamiaa Sana...be slow bana don't get ahead of yourself perhaps utakufa kabla iwe a continental lingua.

Hongera sana Wakenya!! Huku Darisalama kuna watu wasioweza kuzungumza hata sentensi mbili za Kiswahili sanifu achilia mbali Kiingereza!

Ukimpeleka kwenye moot court competition kama hiyo ni sawa na kumwambia kobe apande mti!

Wee bwana mdogo achana na hizo issue za kinyonge za queen's language.

What counts in nowadays world is innovation, creativity and applications of acquired skills to solve problems of the society.

You've killed those haters men, wanatuchukulia poa sana

 

[Kijibabu]

Hongera zao, hiyo kitu ingekua kwa kiswahili tungeshinda mapema sana. Sisi kiingereza kinatukwamisha sana hasa sehemu hizo za mijadala maana hatuwezi kukiongea vizuri.

Wakenya ni washamba. Law is nothing rather than using common sense.

Exactly! So it will be in order to state that Tanzanians don't use common sense. Thats why Kenyans had to do it on your behalf to beat this buggers from Harvard at a moot court. Can all, of a similar opinion say ayeee!

Hata Kiswahili wengi hawakijui wala hawakiwezi hasa vijana wa leo! Wanachoweza ni hizi lugha uchwara nyepesi nyepesi za kuokoteza mitaani tu za kupiga domo na kufanyia uhuni!

Lakini Degree, Master Degree na PhD mbili ulizosomea kwa Kiingereza tangu darasa la tatu(Grade III) unazo halafu hujui kuzungumza kwa ufasaha!!! 🤭 🤭 🤭 Kichekesho!

Lugha ya kusomea na kuzungumza ni tofauti. Ni vigumu kuongea lugha kwa ufasaha wakati huitumii kwenye maisha yako ya kila siku. Hata discussions za masomo tunazifanya kwa kiswahili. Kama sio mtanzania unaruhusiwa kukosoa ila kama wewe ni mtanzania na umesoma hapahapa basi ni lazima unajua ugumu uliopo
