KISWAHILI: LETA ULE MZIGO NIMEUKUMBUKA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwenye ukumbukaji wa mzigo wake mtu fulani. Ukumbukaji wa mzigo huo, ni wa mtu ambaye hajauona mzigo wake huo tangu siku nyingi. Ndiyo maana mtu huyo husema kwamba, ‘leta ule mzigo nimeukumbuka.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye anamdai mwenzake kitu kama hela, mtama, au nguo aliyoazima. Mtu huyo husema hivyo kama njia ya kumdai mwenzake huyo amrudishie deni lake, kwa sababu ya kuchelewa kulirudisha kwake. Ndiyo maana mtu huyo husema kwamba, ‘leta ule mzigo nimeukumbuka.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kurudisha haraka kitu walichokopa kwa wenyewe, ili waweze kuishi katika umoja na wenzao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: BRING MY LUGGAGE, I HAVE REMEMBERED IT.

The source of the above saying comes from the memory of someone whose property was borrowed by someone else. It might have taken quiet sometime without returning it. This is why the owner of the property can use the saying ‘bring my luggage, I have remembered it’ to communicate his/her need to getting back his/her property.

The saying can be compared to a person who demands for his/her property such as money, sorghum, or clothes from someone else. The debtor is forced to pay it back.

The saying teaches people about repaying their debts in order to create a ground for unity and cooperation in the society.
