Some argue that such is the case since the language is spread over a wide geographical area . In the case of the word nyanya - it is mainly used in kenya to refer to grandmother . Tanzanians call theirs bibi , while the same cannot be applied across the border since it refers to the wife or in some cases the hidden mistress . Other words in this category include juma , mwanga , shoga etc etc . Care must however be taken when using some of these words since they can deemed be offensive by others PS: don't laugh at my alias like many bantu languages kiswahili tends to have some levels of ambiguity which are hard to explain .

On the bright side, at least now you'll be able to make it from your place to the office without ending up in front of any giant tomatoes. lol, it strikes me as ironic that you look at all these road signs but still don’t know your way around that place.
