Usages of sahani
Nataka ulete sahani hii mezani, ili sote tule pamoja.
I want you to bring this plate to the table, so that we all eat together.
Mama anatarajia mimi nioshe sahani zote baada ya chakula cha jioni.
Mother expects me to wash all the plates after dinner.
Sahani zetu zimevunjika, kwa hiyo tutatumia bakuli wakati wa chakula cha dharura.
Our plates have broken, so we will use bowls during the emergency meal.
Kila mtoto huosha sahani yake mara tu baada ya kula.
Every child usually washes his plate right after eating.
Panguza sinki kwa sponji safi, kisha osha sahani.
Wipe the sink with a clean sponge, then wash the plates.
Sahani ngapi ziko mezani?
How many plates are on the table?
Ukisha osha sahani, panguza meza kwa kitambaa.
Once you have washed the plates, wipe the table with a cloth.
Sasa mimi ninaosha sahani peke yangu kwa sababu wengine wanasoma.
Now I am washing the plates by myself because the others are studying.
Leo watoto wenyewe wamepanga meza na kuweka sahani zote sawasawa.
Today the children themselves have set the table and placed all the plates evenly.
Test yourself: What does sahani mean?
