Usages of ibada
Jumapili ijayo, tutakwenda kanisa kwa ibada ya asubuhi.
Next Sunday, we will go to church for the morning service.
Kama usingechelewa, tungeanza ibada kanisani mapema Jumapili iliyopita.
If you had not been late, we would have started the service at church early last Sunday.
Watoto wangefurahia mandazi hayo pamoja na asali baada ya ibada.
The children would enjoy those doughnuts with honey after the service.
Test yourself: What does ibada mean?
