It’s like when we greet in Zulu we say “Sawubona” or “Sanibona” literally meaning “We see you” or “We see you all”, acknowledging not just their presence but their shared buntu-ness. Translating it to just “Hello” will always be insufficient. And that’s why we get really offended when someone doesn’t greet us, it’s a dismissal of our humanity.

It's a whole phrase, it's a verb, a noun, an adverb, adjective, etc all at once...it just can't be translated...

in Arabic it is called " Moroo'ah" and you are right, it has no translation in English.

I am a middle years teacher, and we talk about how our identity is strongly related to language and expression. I would like to show them your video to deepen their understanding.

Would this capture the meaning of Ubuntu? "I'm seen, therefore I am."
