"Juma ni mzazi"

Translation: Juma is a parent

[Majoras_master]

Father was not accepted. Is there a different term for father in Swahili apart from baba?

[ngwarai]

mzazi means parent that's why father was not accepted. A parent can either be a father or mother. Put differently, a father is a parent but a parent is not a father.

I hope I didn't confuse you more.
