I have always found the word " ati" fascinating. I struggle to find one english word for it "ati?" - ???? "ati nini/nani/wapi/gani?" - what,who,where,which "ati amesema nini?" - what did he/she say? "ati anajifanya mwerevu" - (communicating disbelief) he/she is trying to prove he is clever/smart " Question: ati, alikula hiyo kitu? answer: ati!"???? All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
