A Word in isiZulu: Sawubona/Sanbonani

Sawubona – used to greet one person
Sanibona/Sanibonani – used to greet more than one person

IsiZulu speakers will be impressed if you say “Sau’bona” or “San’bon” instead, because you will sound more like the natives. 

Greeting other people is a sign of respect in IsiZulu culture.
