This video comes up in youtube when you search for East Africa or Kiswahili language. The video is pretty funny, and you can kind of tell what the characters are saying because it is a simple Tom and Jerry cartoon. More interesting for us might be the comment section where some people have actually posted some comments in Kiswahili as well as in English.
Some of the comments are in English, but some are a mix of English and Kiswahili. I was able to pick out a few words that we've brought up in the posts. I saw the first post that says "hahahahaha too funny mazee!" which is funny, and I think mazee might be a slang version or something of mzee which means elder, as I mentioned in my last post. It could be a sign of respect, but I'm not sure, maybe I'm just crazy.
Anyways, here it is:
