Saw’bona 2023,
Kuningi, which means a lot in isiZulu, made it to social media of the word in South Africa. Jonga, that word alone is an adjective that describes your timeline. Heck, if you could talk, I bet you’d choose to identify as kuningi 😂
A lot was going on thjs year! We’re on the last days of this year and a lot is STILL happening. Not one or two things. No. Multiple adulting strings pulling you in different directions. Further and further away from you being in denial that 90% of the time when ish hits the fan, you’re the adult who needs to sort it out. A good portion of that remaining 10% goes to the andizi (I’m not coming) button that you can hit once in a while.
It came to no surprise that this was one of the most used words this year. I’m definitely one of those people who over used this word this year to just describe my state of being. Guys, we go through a lot. A lot all at once. Like the pause button has been plucked out of that old radio and you need a screw driver to hit it.
You know how life hits you and you feel the need to go back to primary/high school to demand your school fees back. 2023, your timeline did this. Especially in the kuningi context. When they taught us degrees of comparison, they never factored in the life comparison degree. Think about it, how many times have you felt like best just doesn’t do it. Bestest, where art though? Is hottest really it?!
Fortunately for us on these streets, you can just simply say: kuningi. the kuningi is kuningier. It’s at its kuningiest. You can simply say that and the person you’re talking to will know just how much care and support you need because yeah no…kuningi!
Disclaimer: I do not speak for everyone who knows how to flex the language of the king. Maybe some schools taught more than three degrees of comparison. Not mine. And, if for some reason they did, and I missed it, mush have been on my absent days 😂🤣
