Translation of "Mume" into English

Mume wa mwanamke huyo alimwambia Agnes kwamba mke wake alikuwa amejifungua.

Her husband told Agnes that his wife had just given birth.

Amekosa fursa tukufu ya kuwahi kuwa mume ama baba.

He has forfeited that sacred privilege of ever becoming a husband or father.

Zoea hilo hufikiriwa kuwa linatakasa mume au mke anayebaki kutokana na “roho” ya mume au mke aliyekufa.

The practice is thought to purify the surviving spouse of the “spirit” of the dead mate.

Bila shaka, huenda mume au mke akahitaji kumpa mwenzi wake muda kidogo wa kutulia.

Of course, marriage mates may need to give each other a little time to cool down.
