| Munu | 4 up, 2 down | |
Owner of a heart of gold and monkey-style dancing skills who just needs one good eighties or top 40 song to set his wheels in motion. Corporate by day...silly, funny, hilarious by night (or sometimes by mid-day or after 2 beers). I think that guy leading the meeting is actually a Munu. | ||
What does this mean?
Mzungu (pronounced [m̩ˈzuŋɡu]) is the southern, central and eastern African term for a person of foreign descent. Literally translated it means "someone who roams around aimlessly" or "aimless wanderer" (from the Swahili words zungu, zunguzungu,zunguka, zungusha, mzungukaji, meaning to go round and round; from Ganda okuzunga which means to wander aimlessly).
In Swahili, the plural form of mzungu is wazungu.[1][2][3] The possessive kizungu (or chizungu) translated literally means "of the aimless wanderers". It has now come to mean "language of the aimless wanderers" and more commonly English, as it is the language most often used by Wazungu in East Africa. However it can be used generally for any European language. Wachizungu, Bachizungu, etc. – literally "things of the aimless wanderers" – have come to mean the Western culture, cuisine and lifestyle.
In Kinyarwanda and Kirundi, European people are also known as rutuku which means "red" (after their skin color). The word English has been loaned into Bantu languages askiingereza in Swahili, chingeleshi in Bemba or lungereza in Ganda.
