|---|---|
| Do you speak Swahili? | Je, unazungumza Kiswahili? |
| Do you speak English? | Je, unazungumza Kiingereza? |

| Could you repeat that, please? | Tafadhali, unaweza kurudia? |
| Could you speak more slowly, please? | Tafadhali, unaweza kuzungumza polepole zaidi? |
| Could you write it down? | Unaweza kuandika? |
| What does … mean? | … ina maana gani? |
Kidokezo cha vitendo: Ukimwonyesha mtu simu yako yenye programu ya kutafsiri, sema: "Could you type it here, please?" — Tafadhali, unaweza kuandika hapa?
— Excuse me, do you speak Swahili? — No, I'm sorry, I don't. But I can try to help you. — Thank you very much. Could you speak slowly, please? — Of course! No problem.
