“Are we together....” is one of the most common phrases that teachers or trainers or individuals explaining something use to explore the understanding of the listeners. There was that Caribbean song that was all about “Overstand” instead of “Understand” because to “understand” indicates less somehow. This song came to mind every time I hear – are we together.
Interesting... these use of different phrases to man the same thing. We would just ask if the class understands...like that!
I have learnt a few words...in Luganda (not sure about spelling) –
Wangee – Yes please (this is how people answer the telephone)
Kwagala – I love you (could also mean “I want you”)
Jango – Come
Wasuze otya – Good morning
Osibye otya – Good afternoon (e sounds like a)
Nnyabo – lady (respect or polite way will require this word at the end of good morning or afternoon)
SSabo - man
