kuzunguruka

How to say it

Meaning

to go around, to turn in a circle, to cycle.

Good to know

the root -zungu- here is also the source of umuzungu, which originally meant someone going around and around, describing early European travellers, rather than the sense of white person it carries today.

Examples

• Umupira urazunguruka mu kirere.The ball spins around in the air.
• Ntukazunguke iwacu, ugende umuhanda ugororotse.Don't go all the way around to our place, take the straight road.
• Ese uzunguruka igisagara ku gare?Do you cycle around the town on a bicycle?
• Twarazungutse umusozi wose mbere yo gushika iwabo.We went all around the hill before reaching their home.
