Funga mlango

Close the door

Asking to shut the entrance.

🌍

문화적 배경

Zanzibar is famous for its intricate doors. Closing a door here is often seen as a way to protect the 'Heshima' (honor) of the household. Leaving a door open is a sign of 'Karibu' (welcome). Closing it during the day might prompt neighbors to ask if everyone is okay. In the fast-paced city, 'Funga mlango' is often said quickly in public transport where safety from snatch-and-grab theft is a concern. In rural areas, closing the door at night is essential to keep out wild animals or livestock.

Politeness counts

Always add 'Tafadhali' at the end to sound like a local who has 'adabu' (manners).

⚠️

The 'NG' sound

Make sure to pronounce the 'g' in 'funga'. It's a hard 'g' sound.
