Ok my dear but actual they are not polite words, they mostly used by youth in street,school,college,university, I was giving them some1 call himself Jibaba,he is Tanzanian but at this moment is at abroad.
Any way first NA WEWE- AND YOU, JIBABA is name means SOME 1 WITH BIG BODY( eg. TALL,GIANT), AMNA KWERE-WORRY NOT/NO PROBLEM, MTU WANGU-BUDDY/MY FRIEND, WEWE MWAGA SELA-YOU JUST SAY/GIVE OUT THE INFO/JUST TALK, MANENO-WORDS, KIBAO-TO MUCH/MANY, MAPYA-NEW, SHWANGA and SHWANGANDA means WELL/OK/GOOD, WEZERE-BUTT, TIGO-ASS, MPANGO MZIMA-COMPLETELY OK/WELL. that's how they means but as i said mostly by young mans and teenages, but i will try to give you some simple swahili to easily catch pronunciation well right dear!!!!!!

Hi Macho,
Thanks for your comments, but I need you to translate them if possible word by word. Besides "sana" I have not cached any other word!

Ongela Zulekha kwa kuanzisha utaratibu huu,mswahili mwenyewe ndio najiunga na mtandao wako wa kukitangaza kiswahili na kuwasaidi wasiokijua na kuwajuza wanaokijua ila kwa kuwa wanamda mrefu hawakuwa katika mazingira ambapo Kiswahili kinazungumzwa sana,kwa hiyo wamepitwa na baadhi ya maneno kutokana na kukua kwa lugha.
