Talk:upendi

RFV discussion: March–April 2017
Created by someone who does not know any Swahili, and the term does not seem to exist (I went through a few pages of BGC and came up with nothing). Presumably an error for. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 08:30, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know any Swahili either. FWIW, in the Disney movie , they repeatedly use the word "upendi" in a love song. The song itself is called "Upendi". The Wikipedia article currently states that "upendi" is Swahili for love. Obviously, I know this doesn't help the word to meet CFI. It just means that if this term does not exist, the Wikipedia article is wrong too and may have to be corrected. If the word exists, the Wikipedia article seems to be OK. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 08:39, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The Lion King is not a good source for Swahili... I will correct the Wikipedia article once this RFV is concluded. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 08:41, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * A search turns up Steere's and Madan's old dictionaries, where they illustrate the use of h-, ha- on verbs with penda as an example and hence h-upendi, etc. It looks like someone (at Disney) conflated the noun and the verb, if it's not just an unintended typo. - -sche (discuss) 16:40, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
