Usages of bandari
Kesho tutasafiri kwa kivuko kwenda bandari ya jirani.
Tomorrow we will travel by ferry to the nearby port.
Kama kivuko kingeharibika, tungeenda bandari kwa basi.
If the ferry broke down, we would go to the port by bus.
Tulipima umbali kutoka nyumbani hadi bandari, ni kilomita tano tu.
We measured the distance from home to the port; it is only five kilometres.
Meli inaleta mzigo bandarini jioni.
The ship brings cargo to the port in the evening.
Bandari alizotembelea zilikuwa mbali sana na kijiji chetu.
The ports he visited were very far from our village.
Tunapenda kusikiliza hadithi za bandari alizotembelea babu.
We like to listen to stories about the ports grandfather visited.
