Vudiku vulahi (Good night)

Jeska sidika Wambani: It's not vudiku vulahi but mugone/ ogone vulahi. Vudiku vulahi means it's a nice night or  fantastic night. I might be wrong but my late Dad corrected us. ( bwali uvudiku vulahi) Sidika

Luvai: Agreed to a degree bcoz of answer to question: uvudiku vwali ndi? Uvwemirembe, uvukiring'anu, uvulahi...

Lung'afa: Dear Aunty, when it comes to matters 'correcting', no one stands a ground.

Willis Ochieng of KTN has always found fun in correcting 'pronunciation' alone. You can imagine if your dad added that on the list. It wouldn't be 'bwali'...would it?

But because language is taking what is presumed to being communicated, I would take 'vudiku vulahi' to mean 'night good' or good night. No white man has had a problem with that to correct children by saying 'sleep well'. It's all the same message.
