''Please don't search me words'' = ''usinitafute maneno tafadhali''

''Look this'' = ''angalia huyu''

''arrange yourself'' = ''jipange''
RELIGION = MAN LOOKING FOR GOD AND SALVATION = GOD LOOKING FOR MAN.

This is probably the most common and most people don't even realise that it is a direct translation:

"ME I ..." direct from the abantu people's "MIMI NINA...."

EG; " ME I TOLD HIM SO" "mimi nilimwambia hivyo"
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
