"State"

Translation: Jimbo

[ahun00]

Is this "state" in the meaning of "province"?

[likes2hike]

Correct, as in "Ninatoka jimbo la California," or "I am from the state of California." Note: "la" because jimbo is a MA- noun (plural majimbo).

[posi5]

"taifa" was not accepted as an answer. Should it be?

[MortenMumo]

No, taifa is nation. Many countries are national states, but state and nation are still two different concepts.
