Synopsis

Ever felt lost in a Kenyan conversation that sounds like a mix of Swahili, English, Sheng, and a sprinkle of magic? You're not alone—and now, you don’t have to be! The Kenyan Slang Dictionary is your one-stop-shop for unlocking the vibrant, hilarious, and ever-evolving world of Kenyan street lingo.

This dictionary features 500 unique slang words and phrases, complete with clear explanations, real-life examples, and English translations—all organized from A to Z. From the dusty alleys of Eastlands to the matatus of Nairobi, this collection captures the true spirit of how Kenyans talk, joke, flex, and vibe.
Whether you're:

• A tourist trying to figure out what “uko rada?” means,
• A diaspora kid trying to reconnect with your roots,
• A linguist fascinated by urban language evolution, or
• Just a lover of language and culture…

…this book is your backstage pass into one of Africa’s most expressive, creative, and comical street languages.
With plenty of laughs, surprises, and cultural gems, this isn’t just a dictionary—it’s a ticket to sounding like a local, making friends faster, and finally knowing whether “kuchoma” means lighting a fire or spilling the tea.
Get your Sheng on. Sema tu!
