Kutoa ruhusa

Give permission

意味

Allowing something.

🌍

文化的背景

In Tanzania, 'kutoa ruhusa' is often expected from the head of the family (Baba) for almost any major activity by children, regardless of their age, as a sign of respect. Due to strong Arabic influence, you might hear 'Rukhsa' used more frequently as a standalone word to mean 'You are permitted' or 'Go ahead'. In Kenyan urban settings, 'kutoa ruhusa' is used formally, but in Sheng, 'kutoa go-ahead' is a very common hybrid used among youth. Permission for 'msiba' (funerals) is a culturally mandatory form of 'kutoa ruhusa'. It is considered very rude for a boss to deny this.

💡

Be Polite

When asking for permission, always start with 'Samahani' (Excuse me) or 'Tafadhali' (Please).

⚠️

Direction Matters

Remember: YOU 'pata' (get) ruhusa, the BOSS 'toa' (gives) ruhusa.
