Usages of ndugu
Ndugu zangu wanaishi mbali, lakini tunazungumza mara kwa mara kwa simu janja.
My relatives live far away, but we talk often by smartphone.
Mimi ninapenda kuzungumza na ndugu zangu jioni.
I like to talk with my relatives in the evening.
Ningechagua kukaa kwenu kama nisingekuwa na ndugu katika mji huu.
I would choose to stay at your place if I did not have relatives in this town.
Test yourself: What does ndugu mean?
