Usages of ndoto
Ni bora tusikubali roho mbaya itubomoe ndoto zetu, hata kama tunakabiliwa na changamoto.
It is better that we do not allow bad intentions to demolish our dreams, even if we face challenges.
Mimi nina ndoto kubwa.
I have a big dream.
Ndoto ninayoikumbuka kutoka utotoni imenisaidia kukomaa kifikra.
The dream that I remember from childhood has helped me mature mentally.
Ndoto yangu imekutimia.
My dream has come true.
Jana usiku, niliota ndoto ambayo bado sijaielewa vizuri.
Last night, I dreamed a dream that I still haven’t understood well.
Kabla sijalala leo, nitaandika ndoto hiyo kwenye shajara yangu binafsi.
Before I sleep today, I will write that dream in my personal diary.
Mimi ninaota ndoto nzuri usiku.
I dream good dreams at night.
Mimi ninaandika ndoto zangu katika kijitabu changu kila usiku.
I write my dreams in my little notebook every night.
Leo jioni, ninataka kujiandikia ndoto yangu katika shajara yangu binafsi.
This evening, I want to write my dream for myself in my personal diary.
Baada ya chakula cha jioni, mimi hukaa kwenye kochi na kuandika ndoto zangu katika shajara.
After dinner, I usually sit on the sofa and write my dreams in my diary.
Kila ninapoandika shajara yangu, ninataja ndoto ndogo na malengo makubwa ya baadaye.
Whenever I write in my diary, I mention small dreams and big goals for the future.
Test yourself: What does ndoto mean?
