Mheshimiwa Onyinkwa. I don't know if my husband will come to eat Chrismas with us but please knock the phone and tell him that our daughter has become stomach. Tell him that when I noticed that she had become heavy and confronted her, she said that I was looking her words and that I should take her slowly. She beats food like a pig and has become so fat that her clothes have smalled her. Her stomach is so big that she cannot beat her clothes the iron box let alone beat her shoes paint. What is worse, the doctor insists she must eat a stone every day.
The other day she was walking to town when a car whose mirrors were very dark stood and she climbed it. The car's legs had 20 inch rims and its chairs were leather. It was a real gourd. The man in the car had wrapped himself nicely and wore mirrors. He must be a type because he was not speaking our mouth. Tell him that our daughter has become so damaged that I suspect she even drinks cigarettes and weed. Yesterday I sent her to the shop to buy torch bullets and she stayed there for more than two clocks.

Call it what you may. I am always fascinated by the fact that of all the tribes in kenya, the abagusii tribe seems to have the most interesting conjugations and accent issues. I think its a reflection of the language and stuff. Well, you are probably wondering what I mean. Here are afew examples.
The P and B dilemma
Why do we always switch p's for b's and b's for p's?
e.g te pas is bassing py? (the bus is passing by), Subabaisa (supervisor), papors (bubbles), buresitenti (president), Pangirisi panki (Barclays bank) etc.
The S and SH Phenomenon
e.g shunshine, sining soes (shining shoes), Shea sells (sea shells), etc
The miraculous appearance of extra vowels
e.g Berseferency (perseverence), taoni (down? town?) I amu goingi taoni tere to see a beautifur gari.
The examples are endless so let me not even continue. And then there is the kisii who has american children.
Here is a conversation that I bet many of you have heard on many occassion. Imagine parents who immigrated to the US and had their kids here. You know that the parents maintain their accent and the kids speak "american" So there:
MOM: Kitisi! Chuutrens! Ng'ai mwachia abana aba.
KIDS: Yes mom? MOM: gweni mama kori (call) you woti you tu?
KIDS: We come?
MOM : So why you tonti riseni to mama gweni mama kori you?
KIDS: Well Brian was playing nintendo and Ashley was playing with her barby dolls and then Bobby was watching cartoons and it was so loud we could not hear you. Sorry mom.
MOM: Purayani! Aye you poy! no more ntendosi. Asiri! witi your parpy torrs puti temu agway, Poppu!!! gaki abana mbwate! Omwana aikaranse atogorie amaiso etibi igoro miaka yote. Gento tari koigwa nonye!. Nabana mbwate gose nebikondo?
KIDS (crying): but mom you called us monkeys in "African."
MOM: Kira. Abirikani? gwot isi abirikani? tere is no ranguech korrd abirikani. You are abagusii!! Mwanyarire. reti your tatty come home and tiri witi you kitis. I am fet apu. Omonto nkwane bwakia bokaira abana emetu nebitare! karwaa timbachwata bosa!
BRIAN: Mom you called us rock -heads that's not nice!
MOM: So? ifu mama calls you a rocketi you are a rocketi!
BRIAN: Not rocket! rock heads!
MOM : So you tinki you are smarti? Tiga iso aracha rero mutaona cha mtema kuni!
KIDS: Mom sorry. Please don't tell dad please?
MOM: Okay pati tonti tu tati again. Mama rafi you and mama tonti wanti to piti her peipy tarrings. Okay swilaats? Kamu to mama. Mama gibu you some raf. Mama kisi you and hagi you and teni you go naiti naiti okay swillies?
There's more to come have a pompastikarry fantapurasi americanized day.Preisha (pleasure)

Tata oito ore igoro,
erieta riao risikwe;
obonda bwao bochiche;
ogwancha kwao gokorwe ins'aiga buna igoro;
otoe bono endagera yaito ya bono;
otorusie ebibe biaito'
buna intwe togotiga abagotochegia;
tobaisa gotobeta ase ogoteemwa,
ineee,otogoberie korwa as obobe bwonsi.
Amina.
