Usages of badala ya
Napenda kusubiri zamu yangu kwa utulivu, badala ya kufanya kelele ovyo.
I like to wait for my turn calmly, instead of making random noise.
Mama anapika samaki badala ya kuku.
Mother cooks fish instead of chicken.
Sitaki udaku darasani; mbona mnanong’ona badala ya kusoma?
I don’t want gossip in class; why are you whispering instead of reading?
