Hey. I'm new in the channel. This is my second video I watched. I first saw the comparison between Zulu and your language. It's amazing how our languages are related 😊. By the way I'm Xhosa speaking, from South Africa. My husband is Zulu. Our languages are similar. I like the way you speak and present yourself. You've got a new subscriber ♥️
Very nice, Eugene. Did you live in Mayoni? We would walk from Shibale Angola to Mayoni and all the way to Matungu. Though walking near River Nzoia was scary. We used to go to Matungu dispensary for treatment.
@@luhyalanguageandculture I lived in Mayoni on School days. Home ni Munami. For survival on weekends we used to raid the nuclear, we could go to Makunda, then through daraja mbaya, then tutokee shibale
@eugenebarasa1340 Did you say raid?🤣🤣. Mkikula miwa ama? Did you guys not fear Shumuli forest? Ir you didn't go that far? Munami is inhabited by Abatura, too. Am I wrong? I fell in love with Munami because my dad headed Munami primary for a long time
Ooh, how nice to "meet" you Ruth. We had many neighbours attending Mumias Complex. Then, Complex and Central were rivals😆. I don't know why, but it was fun in a way
This!! We didn't just go to swim in the streams and rivers. Mostly, it was after football or tombola (hide and seek). The whole village playing together is something we knew. I remember them races because you had to be the first one in the water. Everyone knew how to dive, in their own way. We just flew into the water anyhow. Then that theory that ukipaka mrenda kwa mwili (couldn't say that in English) the leeches in the streams can't stick onto your skin and what a time. My secondary school days in Lugulu AC were hot. Msamaria and Nyaugenya were the buses then. There is a lot. I feel kids don't get enough of their childhood today. The maize season, the sugarcane season, tsiswa season, the mango seasons. I grew up in the village, village. We lived with nature. That part of forced English over my Lusamia pains me a lot. We lost a lot in culture and identity because of forced English. I realized that later. Luckily, I was in the village throughout my childhood. The government removed local languages at some point. Can't remember the year. Kudos to your mum for forcing that Lumarachi in you. My kids know Lusamia before they can learn anything. We aren't speaking any other language but Lusamia at home and we are doing all things culutrally. No exceptions. Thanks for this. You took me down the memory lane.
It’s the Luhya in my DNA 🧬 dear cousin 😉🤗 I so admire your experience in the homeland of my Ancestors. I cannot begin to tell you how very honored I am 🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿🇰🇪
@@kerinkellynerdcorner Cousin 🤗. I like that string that ties. To us Luhyas, almost everyone is our relative. I am glad you could relate to this video indeed.

@@luhyalanguageandculture we were young and courageous
@eugenebarasa1340 But seriously, I can blame you. Coz we also used to hang on huge sugarcane traitors to pull sugarcane and we weren't scared
Shout out from Zulu land❤ much love
Lovely.Enjoying your content.I went to Mumias Complex !!

Wow…the 90s huh? Interesting lived history in West Kenya 🇰🇪. I can actually “feel” your wonderful sense of nostalgia. ✨
It is indeed nostalgic ✨. In fact, you found the right term

I have been looking for you kumbe ulibadilisha channel name
What is Kati in Kiluhya
It's a kids' game.
It could mean SO. Used mostly by AvaSamia.
If it's Swahili KATI, it'd be AKACHI in OluNyala (Kakameka 😂)
