Interesting. Swahili has Latin roots? I didn’t know that.

The text that was blotted out by the big red letters said “born of this village”. You are saying that the original broadcast’s subtitles are wrong? I can’t tell, I don’t speak Swahili, but if you do, then you say that the original translation was faulty?

One of the subtitles stated that the word “nate” that the gramma said has the same root as the English words “nativity” etc.

Actually it’s a Sanskrit root, as many roots are, including Latin ones, since it’s an older language.

I’m just saying that’s what the subtitles said, it goes by pretty fast.
