Good Juju
Submitted by GoodJuju on 29 September 2008 - 6:29am
Hi,
I was wondering if "Good Juju" in Swahili would be "Nzuri Juju".
Actually, I was also wondering it it would be correct to translate Good Juju into Swahili, or if it would be more appropriate to use another African language to which the Juju beliefs apply. If so, which language? And what would the translation be?
Thanks in advance!

In Swahili you would put the adjective in second place. If it is for a person, you say :Mzuri or Mwema (for "good"). As "mzuri" also has the connotation of "nice, beautiful pretty" you might prefer "mwema" which is rather the moral quality.
Thus: "JujuMwema"
