"Baba ni msafiri"

Translation: Dad is a traveler

[RaizinM]

By the way, msafiri comes from the verb -safiri (to travel), which is related to the word safari (journey), which you might recognize from English. ;)

[TumainiTiger]

That's actually how I remember the word because when on safari, you are travelling to see animals :)

[Kejame]

Is the word 'Baba' used in the way we Americans use the word 'Dad'? Or 'Father'?

[NjabuloTaN]

Both Father and Dad. Baba is formal and there can be no informal word for Baba since African cultures are quite conservative.

[AGreatUserName]

More or less both ... it's the main word used but it's acceptable both formally and informally.
