Hi and congratulations for the game. I would like to ask you a question that deals with slang words in Amharic. I am doing a research which consist on creating a linguistic cartography of the world based on social aspects such as economy, friendship and gender. It consists on asking every country of the world for the translation of "money", "friend", "masculine sex" and "femenine sex", but IN STREET LANGUAGE (slang); those words, that do not appear in the dictionary but you know them just if you are from there. They may sound rude, but in fact everyone knows them because they are very popular. For instance, in English(UK), money:dosh, friend:mate, masculine sex:cock, femenine sex:cunt; but in English(USA), money:bucks, friend:buddy, masculine sex:dick, femenine sex:pussy.
How do you say those words in Swahili?
I really appreciate your help.
All the best,
Javier.
Instead of "nyonda sogea karibu", in Spanish we say "Acércate"
