Translation: Marahaba.

[MeredithBu142081]

I like to hear marahaba spoken. I say it wrong I think. But cannot hear it in this app

[machieng]

it's available now

[BabaKwaku]

Only used when speaking to an elder or someone of high respect

[EdwinThuku1]

Marahaba has origins in Arabic too. It can also be used as a greeting. But in Kiswahili it is usually used as a response to Shikamoo

[ShitakiHero23]

What context would this be used in? It sounds like it would mean your welcome.

it's a response to the greeting 'Shikamoo', which is usually offered to someone who is older/you hold in high regard (to show respect), to which they respond 'marahaba'
