guheza

How to say it

Meaning

to bring something to completion, or, joining two clauses, to mark that one action follows directly after another.

Good to know

as a full verb it means to finish or achieve something; joined into a narrative as araheza it functions like 'then' — one event finishing before the next begins.

• Ndaheza akazi kanje mbere yo gusiba.I finish my work before leaving.
