"Good evening sister?"

Translation: Habari za jioni, dada?

[Goofed37]

Is this a question or a greeting? Why the question mark?

[BenConway6]

I believe 'habari za ...' is equivalent to asking 'how is ....', like ''how is your evening going?'

[Goofed37]

Holy shit are replies always this fast? Thanks for the clarification!

[BenConway6]

But yes, it is a bad example in English, as 'good evening' is a greeting and not a question.

[BenConway6]

Why not 'jioni njema'?

[machieng]

that would be more of a parting remark because you're wishing them a good evening. I think the 'good evening' here is meant as a greeting

[BenConway6]

Thanks

What the difference between Habari za jioni & Habari ya jioni ?

[Kevin340122]

"Habari za jioni" is more common but i believe both are acceptable.
