What's this word doing in the skill Greetings?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AGreatUserName

Because it's used in some greetings ... I bet you know that now though. Habari za kazi?

    I thought the same, but asking how someone's job is, is a very polite sentence to say. :)

    'Kazi nzuri' is a response to greeting I recall... So I believe this is leading to that.

    Kazi: job. Makazi: jobs.

    As someone who speaks swahili, I know that makazi doesn't mean jobs. It means like where you live. Kazi doesn't have a plural, it remains kazi in plural

    This is the first time I've seen this word and I couldn't press on it to see the meaning.

    When you see something like that later, report that a hint is missing. Comments here usually don't help in making corrections to the course.
