Oli Ota *How are you in Kitoro from Uganda*
I hope you’re having an amazing weekend.
So, I don’t know much of my local language from my dad’s side because well, my childhood didn’t permit me to. So, I chose the central language in Uganda which is Luganda. So here goes…
Bugubugu simulilo.
Everything that glitters isn’t gold.
Akwasa empola atuka wala.
The one who treads carefully reaches furthest.
Kamukamu gwe mugaanda.
One by one makes a bundle.
Akwana akira alwana.
Befriending is better than fighting.
Nezi kokolima gali majji.
Even those that crow were initially eggs.
Eliso lyomukulu awadugala wewalaba.
The eyes of the old person see best.
So that my readers, are a few proverbs from Central Uganda.
Cheers.
