Usages of zamani
Hiki ni toleo jipya la kitabu, ambalo lina sura zaidi kuliko toleo la zamani.
This is a new edition of the book, which has more chapters than the old edition.
Gari yangu ni zamani.
My car is old.
Kivuko kikiziba njia, magari yatapita daraja la zamani.
If the ferry blocks the route, cars will use the old bridge.
Nikisoma shajara yangu ya zamani, naona jinsi malengo yangu yalivyobadilika.
When I read my old diary, I see how my goals have changed.
Test yourself: What does zamani mean?
