Usages of nyoka
Nyoka mkubwa alipita karibu na zizi la mifugo yetu, lakini baba alimfukuza haraka.
A large snake passed near our livestock pen, but father chased it away quickly.
Usipige kelele wakati nyoka anapopita, ili usimshutue zaidi.
Do not make noise when the snake is passing, so that you don't startle it further.
Huyu nyoka si baya, lakini msimshike bila barakoa kama bado hamjapata uhakika wa usalama wake.
This snake is not bad, but do not hold it without a mask if you are not yet sure of its safety.
Test yourself: What does nyoka mean?
