Usages of kuwasili
Meli yetu itawasili saa kumi na moja jioni, ikiwa injini yake haitaharibika.
Our ship will arrive at five in the evening if its engine does not break down.
Kesho asubuhi, lori litawasili sokoni.
Tomorrow morning, the truck will arrive at the market.
Tutakutana kituoni mara tu gari moshi litakapowasili.
We will meet at the station as soon as the train arrives.
Wanawake wa kitongoji chetu walikuwa wameandaa chai kabla wageni hawajawasili.
The women of our neighborhood had prepared tea before the guests arrived.
Nilitafuta njia ya mkato kwenda sokoni, nikapita mtaa wa pili, nikawasili mapema.
I looked for a shortcut to the market, passed the second street, and arrived early.
Kama tungesafiri kwa treni usiku, tungewasili mjini asubuhi mapema.
If we travelled by train at night, we would arrive in town early in the morning.
Test yourself: What does kuwasili mean?
