Magigi wrote:Kasamu, Katimba and I went to see Plato in hospital early today. Plato has not been eating well and so Kasamu decided he was the one going to make him eat. Here is how the conversation went in Kamba….
Kasamu: Nukwenda kuya?
Plato: Ayee
Kasamu: Nukwenda matunda?
Plato: Ayee
Kasamu: Nukwenda usuu?
Plato: Ayee
Kasamu: Nukwenda isyo?
Plato: Ayee…
Kasamu: Ai, kinu. Na wienda kyau? Nukwenda kuya kiti?
Plato: Kiu ni ngutata…!!!
Kasamu looked at Katimba and uttered, “ Wia waku wivo”. (here is your work) Kasamu gestured to me and we left the room, went to have tea at the cafeteria. When we got back Plato was full of energy.
Loosely translated as follows…
Kasamu: Do you want to eat?
Plato: No
Kasamu: Do you want fruits?
Plato: no.
Kasamu: Do you want porridge?
Plato: no
Kasamu: Do you want githeri?
Plato: No
Kasamu: Ai (matusi). Now what do you want? Do you want to eat pussy cat?
Plato: That one I will try!!!
@Magigi, you have killed me!
So Plato ate fish, both sides?
