Usages of umati
Umati mkubwa ulifika kwenye tukio la kijamii kitongojini angalau saa moja kabla.
A large crowd arrived at the community event in the neighborhood at least an hour early.
Baada ya tukio hilo, umati ulitawanyika polepole.
After that event, the crowd dispersed slowly.
Kwa kweli nafasi adimu kama hiyo hutolewa kwa umati mdogo tu.
Indeed, such a rare opportunity is given to only a small crowd.
Juma ana aibu anapozungumza mbele ya umati, ilhali Asha hujitokeza.
Juma feels shy when speaking in front of a crowd, whereas Asha steps forward.
Ningekuwa na ujasiri zaidi, ningezungumza mbele ya umati bila hofu.
If I had more courage, I would speak in front of a crowd without fear.
Test yourself: What does umati mean?
