Usages of kunyoa
Baba hutumia wembe kunyoa ndevu zake asubuhi.
Father uses a razor to shave his beard in the morning.
Kama usingekuwa mwangalifu, usingeweza kunyoa ndevu zako vizuri kwa wembe huo.
If you were not careful, you would not be able to shave your beard well with that razor.
Baba hutumia wembe kunyoa kila asubuhi, na mimi hutumia sega tu kabla ya kutoka nyumbani.
Father uses a razor to shave every morning, and I use only a comb before leaving home.
Asipotumia wembe mpya, baba hataweza kunyoa vizuri.
If he does not use a new razor, father will not be able to shave well.
