Interesting. I happen to be a luo who has learnt to speak both Kikuyu and Kinyarwanda. One word that is directly similar in spelling, meaning and pronunciation in both languages is kurakara, which means to be angry in both Kinyarwanda and Kikuyu. Many other words are almost similar as they have shown in the video, like head is "Mutwe" in Kikuyu, "Umutwe" in Kinyarwanda although the pronunciation in Kinyarwanda is "uu--mu--t--k-u-wee". Also the derogatory word for mother used especially in abusive language is "nyoko" in Kinyarwanda and "nyukwa" in Kikuyu. The numbers are also similar in some way. Now, believe it or not, Kinyarwanda is closest to Kimaragoli and Suba languages in Kenya. A luhya or Suba can almost understand Kinyarwanda without having heard it. Remember Rufftone's song "Mwikulu"? that means heaven? in Kinyarwanda heaven is Mwijuru. Both Kimaragoli and Kinyarwanda use "rero" as a filler word, exactly as it is, to mean like 'now" or "at this time" etc. Both languages also use "ba' to denote people, like abaluhya or basuba and banyarwanda etc.
Wow, this is super interesting, dear! Hahah you remind me when I was young , I used to hate that word, Nyoko😂😂, if you came and ask me nyoko arihe? (Where's your mom) I used to say NO, she is not around yet she is 😂 thank you so much for sharing ❤️
It's very interesting that the Kikuyu and Kinyarwanda languages are almost similar. There are only a few differences in pronunciation, but they are so similar that these two groups must have come from the same origin.
1. Eat = idla ( Zulu 🇿🇦) 2.child= uMtwana (Zulu🇿🇦) Ngwana(Sotho🇱🇸🇿🇦) 3.six= isthandathu( Xhosa🇿🇦) 4.Grow= khula( Zulu) 5.send = Thuma ( Zulu) 6. Bird= inyoni ( Zulu) 7. Human= umuntu (Zulu) 8.up = phezulu ( Zulu) Zulu can mean sky, heaven and even rain but if u add a prefix " phe"Zulu... Then it means "up" Zulu 🇿🇦 and Ndebele 🇿🇼, it's exactly the same language.
@@mandelakibebe2225 Yes Languages spoken from South Africa to Uganda have very striking similarities... There is a school child in Rwanda who was teaching me kinyarwanda for many years... I think she is finished school now... Kinyarwanda is difficult to speak if you from South Africa but it has lots of similarities with different South African languages...
@@mandelakibebe2225 Bantu people, definitely have a common background... Otherwise How is it possible that we use same words to mean exactly the same thing... Ulimi Amehlo = amaso Inwele Iziko. Meno = ameno Maboko = amaboko This are words in Sa languages and many more 😁
In Nyeri, a piece of metal is pronounced as "Shuma" and not "Cuma" like they do in Kiambu and Murang'a. So, Nyeri kikuyu is more similar to kinyarwanda
Yikes didnt Kinyarwanda was that close to Kikuyu. Its like all the words are the same, Rwandese seem to add some letters ..or just change the pronunciation abit. Murioho...😂
I wish you guys understand Kinyarwanda, so i could give you a link and see how all so called "Bantu languages" are regional variations of one original language called "URURI" URU for ururimi(language) RI for Urumuri(Light) In brief ururi means Ururimi rwa RI or ururimi rwa rumuri( language of light) You can't say East Africa is the origin of humanity and not the origin of language! What they invatnted is writing not languages. This RI is very deep.To give you a hint, see how we conjugate kuri( the original translation of to be): ndi(n-ri), uri(u-ri), ni(actuallyni-ri) or a- ri.

Thank you so much for sharing all these words, I would love if you were in Kigali, and we make a video of Zulu and Kinyarwanda 😊
What! Africa is the same. I m from Rwanda but surprised to hear how these languages are similar
@@mandelakibebe2225
Yes

@@brianxulu8366 Sure, I feel like we have a common ancestor
@@mandelakibebe2225
Bantu people, definitely have a common background...
Otherwise
How is it possible that we use same words to mean exactly the same thing...
Ulimi
Amehlo = amaso
Inwele
Iziko.
Meno = ameno
Maboko = amaboko
This are words in Sa languages and many more 😁
I'm Rwandan.
Bite😊
We are bantou ❤ no difference.
Yeah!
Rugendo is journey in kikuyu..also a male name
Wonderful 👍
But better you stop outside sounds!
Thank you for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for future videos.
Les langues bantu😂
Oui oui 🤗
Great work Vanessa 👏 but combine all the words that are smilar from several languages
Good idea! Thanks for watching 😊
In Nyeri, a piece of metal is pronounced as "Shuma" and not "Cuma" like they do in Kiambu and Murang'a. So, Nyeri kikuyu is more similar to kinyarwanda
but you know S is not a kikuyu vowel.. its Cuma.. cukuru, ciana...
@orisenabritt Where I was raised, they are pronounced with a "shi" and not with a "ci"
Hahahha, nice to hear😍
Am from Muranga and in our place we say shuma though in writing is cuma.
@@MaryMW-i3j Gacuma is also a kikuyu name..not sure about Gashuma in rwanda
Yikes didnt Kinyarwanda was that close to Kikuyu. Its like all the words are the same, Rwandese seem to add some letters ..or just change the pronunciation abit. Murioho...😂

I need you Vanessa.
Would want to tell you something. Thx
The table in kinyarwanda is imeza the same as kikuyu
Ameza! Thank you dear🤗

I wish you guys understand Kinyarwanda, so i could give you a link and see how all so called "Bantu languages" are regional variations of one original language called "URURI"
URU for ururimi(language)
RI for Urumuri(Light)
In brief ururi means Ururimi rwa RI or ururimi rwa rumuri( language of light)
You can't say East Africa is the origin of humanity and not the origin of language! What they invatnted is writing not languages.
This RI is very deep.To give you a hint, see how we conjugate kuri( the original translation of to be):
ndi(n-ri),
uri(u-ri),
ni(actuallyni-ri) or a- ri.
I understand Dear. Share it to me 😊
