خلفية ثقافية
In Tanzania, it is common to use 'Unaitwa nani?' even with elders, though adding 'baba' or 'mama' is polite. In Kenya, especially in urban areas, 'Unaitwaje?' is extremely common among the youth. In coastal regions, introductions are often more formal and may include inquiries about one's family. In Eastern Congo, Swahili is a lingua franca and the usage is very direct.
