Dictionary Kinyarwanda English Free Download [NEW]

I am in Rwanda as I write. I have been picking up the basics, but this list is about the best on the internet. There is a English-Kinyarwanda dictionary being developed and it should be out in 2006/2007. Here is what I know

Are you Hungry?= Ura Shonjye (OO-DA-SHOWN-JAY)

Are you thirsty?= Ufite Inyota (OO-FEETAY-IN-YO-TA)

Hi! I'm also from Washinton, and I'll be traveling to Rwanda with a group from WSU. It looks like you went in February, so you could very well be with the CBDD also...

I would like to re-post your Kinyarwanda dictionary on a blog I have created for the group. If you'll let me do that, please e-mail me at admin@rayspages.com. Thanks.

Hi!

I was happy to find out such a blog with Kinyarwanda dictionary! I was looking for a dictionary but to no avail, I was born and brought up in Rwanda, and I used to live nearby Virunga mountain in "Ruhengeri", I am an Omani national, I live now in Oman but still consider Rwanda my home. I left Rwanda when I was 12, that was in 1988, it was only 2 years before the war started and I haven't returned back ever since. I wish to communicate with friends from Rwanda, whom I can correspond with in Kinyarwanda. Long live Rwanda, you will always stay in my heart. Rwanda is where I belong. Thanks again for the blog. My email : albahryahmed@gmail.com

I too have done some trading...I tuirned in my mushanana for a pair of jeans and a polo shirt. I a munyarwanda living in the USA and I think you have done a great job with the dictionary. keep it up and I hope you are enjoying my country

Hello. I lived in Rwanda for 2 years and loved it. I did a search also on the internet for a dictionary but to no avail. All of the dictionaries out there were French-Kinyarwanda.

Anyway, Someone earlier mentioned that there is going to be a English-Kinyarwanda dictionary coming out soon and I can actually personally confirm that. I presently have it in my posession as I am working on some of it. It is quite comprehensive, (when I received it there were over 450 pages including grammer). I can't give it to anyone yet but when it is finished I believe it will be available at the ORTPN office. I am sure there will be other places you can find it but that one I am most confident of.

If you have any questions about it I would be happy to pass them along to those who are going to be distributing them. You may email me at preciouspurplebutterfly@hotmail.com

Oh by the way,

I'm happy: ndi shimye

Are you happy: Uri shimye

Like many of you I have looked in vain for books on Kinyarwandan! There is a "conversational kinyarwanda for missionaries" written by Kerwin Friebel in 1986 called "Tuvuge Ikinyarwanda". It is around 160 A4 looseleaf pages long and has a good range of vocab, grammar, construction etc. I got a copy from our partners in Rwanda but I'm not sure where they got it from.

Callum,

Not sure if you're talking about Twige Ikinyarwanda, a French-Kinyarwanda manual on how to learn the language (vocab, grammar, etc.) The Ikirezi sells it, as does the school of apprentissage near the Ste. Famille church in Kigali. (They apparently print it.)

It's based largely on training documents produced by the U.S. Peace Corps in the 90s.

If you buy it at the School of Apprentissage, it also comes with language tapes for $2 each. They're in the process of converting them to MP3 files and burning them on CDs.

Laura, about those baskets--I'm not sure what that means, to be honest. When I bought baskets in Rwanda, sometimes the female artisan would attach at piece of paper with her name to the basket. From the looks of it, though, it doesn't look like that's a name.

I'm not super keen on those baskets, just because I know how much they cost if you buy them in Rwanda. I'd be interested to know what percentage of the profits return to the artisans themselves...

I've seen Rwandan baskets at Ten Thousand Villages stores, and they have tended to be less expensive than the Macy's variety. May be worth checking out.

Thanks Morgan! This is great. i am going to rwanda in a couple months and would love to know more. I will be speaking to a couple of gatherings and right now I am planning on using a translator, but would love to deliver at least a few phrases in kinyarwandan. Do you know of any other places to get additional translation??

Morgan, I've been around your blog for a while, and just wanted to give you a big thanks. Been to Rwanda before, now going for an internship in Kisoro town, and will work on Kinyarwanda while I'm at it. Your dictionary gives a head start. Best of luck with studies and work,

- Bjorn

Morgan! I'm glad I found your dictionary. I'm preparing a a few roles for a production this summer and one of the characters speaks Rwandan. The biggest challenge was finding a pronunciation guide, but you've gone the extra mile.

Thanks miss!

I just returned from a mission trip to Cyeza. I wish I had found this website before I left. It is very useful. I have been looking for a program that teaches kinyarwanda. I sponsor 2 children in rwanda so now I can write to them in their native language. Thanks!

Can i just say thank you? You are a life saver. This is the only kinyarwanda-english ANYTHING that I have found.

I'm leaving for Rwanda in December, and figure I should try to teach myself the basics. Slow going, but infinitely better, thanks to you!

This dictionary is so great! A friend of mine is going to Kigali with some nursing students in the spring so we have made your list into a little handbooklet for them! A million thank you's on sharing your knowledge with us all!!!

Goodness, what perfect timing. We have a group that does medical mission work in Rwanda. We recently found your blog and are very pleased to see so much in your dictionary. Last year I picked up a small Kinyarwanda-English dictionary at the national Genocide Museum.

I trust all is well with you.

hey, being Rwandan, I'm happy to see this blog, it's great to see my language being recorded this way. Abakiga (people from the north) are usually the ones who say "sh" instead of "shy" like "ibishimbo" instead of "ibishyimbo." The best kinyarwanda, and purest to us, is spoken by people from the southern area such as Gitarama and parts of Gikongoro. And "l" and "r" are really interchangeable when speaking, they matter more in writing.

This dictionary is sooooo helpful thank you! I tried to get my Rwandan friends to teach me stuff but it was either slang (arasharamnye or however you'd write that was a favourite...) or they would insist on practising their English with me. So thanks for this list!

Thannks so much for the dictionary. It has been a bookmark on my computer for a long time now. I'm american and have dated a Rwandese girl for years. I use your site so much to text her for fun. I'm starting to learn the language basics now. Please continue to add to it. It is so hard to find Kinyarwanda online. Thanks again!

Hello,thanx Morgan

Greetings, everyone. ijust wrote my first letter to my second sponsor child in Rwanda. And it's all in Kinyarwanda! Woo Hoo! Omly about 4 sentences. Short and choppy ones. All translated from this page, except Yesu ashimwe. Which i found at www.kinyarwanda.ijuru.com Many murakoze's Morgan!

Morgan,

Thank you so much for posting this. My wife Sarah and I are moving to Rwanda next month with the Peace Corps and will be spending the next 27 months there. This dictionary has been very helpful in learning some basic words and phrases before we leave. Keep up the good work!

First time posting, but was in Rwanda last summer, an eye opening experience. We are about to publish some of the pictures that were taken, I need to know the kinyarwanda word for tambourine...

Thanks so much

There is aperson, or peoplewho keeps copying highly personal and quite incriminating messages here in Kinyarwanda, obviously form someone else who is not aware that their conversations are being read and published. I am glad people have ignored the messages from "anonymous" and not translated them.

I would like to offer my help, I LOVE LANGUAGES: kinyarwanda and French are my "first" ones, but i speak english,swahili,luganda and swedish fluently too.

Anybody who need translations of short text for free can contact me, I enjoy doing translation work for fun.

MORGAn here is doing an amazing job, your word list is really good and I'd like to thank you for your efforts.

GOD bless you "Imana iguhe umugisha"

The keywords extraction make use of jieba-php ( -php), a Chinese text segmentation module. A few stop words were added to the jieba-php/dict/stop_words.txt file, you can also feel free to add your own. The default dictionary file is dict.big.txt (hardcoded in index.php) and cannot be changed in the settings yet. ff782bc1db
