Usages of sabuni
Kabla ya kula, ni vyema tuoshe mikono yetu kwa sabuni.
Before eating, it is good that we wash our hands with soap.
Ninanunua sabuni sokoni.
I buy soap at the market.
Leo ninasukuma troli polepole kwa sababu kuna ofa ya sabuni na sukari.
Today I am pushing the trolley slowly because there is a special offer on soap and sugar.
Jana sikuwa na shampuu, kwa hiyo niliosha nywele kwa sabuni tu.
Yesterday I did not have shampoo, so I washed my hair with only soap.
Tulipofika supermarketi mapema, tulinunua maziwa, sabuni na matunda mengi.
When we arrived at the supermarket early, we bought milk, soap, and a lot of fruit.
Tukipita dukani, tutanunua shampuu na sabuni.
If we pass by the shop, we will buy shampoo and soap.
Test yourself: What does sabuni mean?
