Usages of krimu
Baada ya kuoga, mama hupaka krimu kwenye ngozi ya mikono na losheni miguuni.
After bathing, mother puts cream on the skin of her hands and lotion on her legs.
Ngozi yangu huwa kavu wakati wa baridi, kwa hiyo ninatumia krimu kila asubuhi.
My skin is usually dry during the cold season, so I use cream every morning.
Dada anapendelea losheni yenye harufu ya maua kuliko krimu nzito.
Sister prefers lotion with a flower scent more than heavy cream.
Baada ya kuoga, mimi hutumia krimu mikononi na losheni miguuni.
After bathing, I use cream on my hands and lotion on my legs.
Krimu hii ni nzuri, lakini dada yangu anapendelea losheni kwa sababu ni nyepesi.
This cream is good, but my sister prefers lotion because it is light.
Keshia alisema kwamba tusiposahau risiti, tunaweza kurudisha krimu au losheni ambazo hatuzihitaji.
The cashier said that if we do not forget the receipt, we can return the cream or lotion that we do not need.
Kesho asubuhi, dada yangu atatumia sega, shampuu na krimu kabla hatujaenda kwa shangazi.
Tomorrow morning, my sister will use a comb, shampoo, and cream before we go to our aunt’s place.
Test yourself: What does krimu mean?
