"Ninaamka kisha ninaoga"

Translation: I wake up and then I shower

[Auriday]

Is there a difference between "kisha" and "halafu"? As far as I know, they both translate to "then" in English

[machieng]

they're the same, they're now accepting both

[Angela34194]

As a native Kiswahili speaker, I would say: Nitaamka halafu/kisha nioge. - I will wake up and then shower.

[machieng]

It's not meant to be future tense, its habitual

[Angela34194]

Then I would say: Mimi huoga baada ya kuamka.

[machieng]

Although the meaning the same, a closer translation would be 'mimi huamka kisha ninaoga' - for the sake of showing how to construct sentences with sequential events

[Angela34194]

I think that sentence is okay too.

[Ben837613]

Why wouldn't you use the habitual in this sentence?

I wake and then i shower is the same as i wake up and then i shower....uhhhh
