Father has refused to turn off the light in the living room because he is still reading.
Tusizime muziki huo bado, kwa sababu ni mapema kuondoka.

Dakika moja kabla ya kuondoka, kumbuka kuzima taa.
One minute before leaving, remember to turn off the lights.
Kesho, ukimaliza kazi mapema, zima taa zote ofisini kabla ya kuondoka.
Tomorrow, if you finish work early, switch off all the lamps in the office before leaving.
Tafadhali zima balbu kabla ya kulala.
Please turn off the bulb before sleeping.
Tukimaliza kazi, tutazima taa zote, tutafunga mlango, tutaondoka kwa utaratibu.
When we finish the work, we will switch off all the lights, lock the door, and leave in an orderly way.
Usiku ninapokuwa na usingizi, ninasoma kurasa chache tu, halafu nazima taa.
At night when I am sleepy, I read just a few pages, then I switch off the light.
