"Nimekwisha kunywa pombe"

Translation: I have already drunk alcohol

[billhatcher]

I'm missing something here, because I read this sentence as "I have finished drinking alcohol/liquor."

[Baziraake]

Me too! Otherwise translation belongs to "nimeshakunywa"....!

[ZanninaMargariti]

Shouldn't it be one word?? Nimekwishakunywa?

[Ernst557459]

No, it is either nimekwisha kunywa or nimeshakunywa. Kwisha means 'to finish' so the first sentence translates to 'I have finished drinking'. Over the last few decades the former sentence has evolved into the simplified second form. Both mean the same thing.

[juryrigging]

Yes, report if you see it again.

[AttilaVarg127747]

It is still two words for me in the course, and pombe could not be also beer?

[billhatcher]

Bia?

[the3lusive]

Beer is Bia and pombe is alcohol or tembo in slang.

[jemef]

alcohol / liquor
