Afternoon talkers.
Ever since I joined ktalk, I’ve been intrigued by the numerous gikuyu sayings that talkers occasionally use here. I’ve come to notice that when conversing with old folks, ukirusha hizo maua mbili tatu ata mushufa watanunualie kijana.So Naomba mbillionaires wasaidie mimi kuongeza kikuyu lexicon…
So far I’ve come across these ones and wouldn’t mind if you … chipped in to add more. Asanda
