Usages of sakafu
Sakafu ya chumba hiki inang’aa kwa sababu mama aliifagia na kupiga deki asubuhi.
The floor of this room shines because mother swept and mopped it this morning.
Tulifanya uchunguzi mfupi kujua kwa nini sakafu inateleza, tukagundua maji yalikuwa yamemwagika.
We did a brief investigation to find out why the floor was slippery, and discovered that water had spilled.
Wao wanaahidi kudhibiti gharama za sakafu mpya, ila inabidi tuchangie hela kidogo za malipo ya mafundi.
They promise to control the costs of the new floor, but we need to contribute a little money for the workers’ payment.
Nuru ya jua ikiwaka sakafuni, tunapata hisia nzuri za amani asubuhi.
When the sunlight shines on the floor, we get a peaceful feeling in the morning.
Mama anasafisha sakafu kama unavyoweza kuona, kwa taulo na maji ya uvuguvugu.
Mother is cleaning the floor as you can see, with a towel and lukewarm water.
Test yourself: What does sakafu mean?
