Proverb translation: Does not a rat forget what it did? Sitomsahau (verb): (am not prefix (sitom) + forget (sahau)) Panya (noun): rat Kwa (prepostion): from/of Kitendo (noun): act, action, practice Alichonifanya (verb): 3rd person singular of to do/to make Hope this helps! |

Sitomsahau Panya Kwa Kitendo Alichonifanya I won't forget rat (a rat) for what he did to me. Though we don't know exactly what the "rat" did but from the title (in swahili) its sounds, its usually means what the rat did was something not so good (negative) |
