"Mbuna" is actually chiTumbuku, and means "rock dweller".

well then .... i am a cook/chef not a fricken language major [acronym:9dd7c68577="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:9dd7c68577] Swahili is the north american way to say it and is accepted as much as kiswahili as far as i can tell

I was just wondering cause Mbuna (i think it was) in kiswahili means river .... i work with a girl that is from the rift lake area of Africa.

I have always said : M-buna, [acronym:575e0d18af="For what its worth"]fwiw[/acronym:575e0d18af]. No plans to stop...

Betta is indeed: beda, because "bay-ta" is how you pronounce the word BETA, with one "T."

Great thread!!

Hmmm.... what else?

I know it's not fresh-water, but

anenome--an enemy

I didn't learn how to pronounce it until I watched Finding Nemo

TankGirl · 02-11-2005, 07:12 AM

I thought it was anemone: an-em-o-nee

Ok, I never took Latin so how do you say:

Colisa lalia

is it La-LIA with emphasis on the LIA

or

LA-lia with emphasis on the LA?

Thanks, I've been dying to know.
