1. habari za masiku = how are you?....but literary means, how have your days been?....its normally told to someone you have not seen in a while (a week or more)

i don't think the phrase 'aseme weye njoo bombo mutamu ehh" is a swahili phrase...but let me explain the words in it.

aseme = he/she should say

weye is an alternative to wewe which means you.

njoo = come

bombo is not a swahili word

mutamu sounds like mtamu which means sweet, tastes good.


2. again, that is not a swahili phrase, but some of the words are swahili
uko = how you are, or over there
lala = sleep


3. salama = peaceful or safe

"niko muzima nilipata message yako " = I'm fine i received your message. correct phrase (mimi ni mzima, nilipata ujumbe wako)

"iko saa ume sahau numero yangu" = looks like you have forgotten my phone number. correct phrase is (inaoneka umesahahu namba yangu)

"habari yawa toto na mama yaho" = how are the kids and their mother. correct phrase is (habari ya watoto na mama yao)

"kamata basi namba yangu ni 0487598109" = here is my number, take it....048598109. correct phrase is (hii ni namba yangu 048......)

"usiku njema" = good night. correct phrase is (usiku mwema)
