MAAGIZO: (Instructions): Jibu Maswali yote. (Answer all the questions).
SEHEMU: A
1. Soma habari ifuatayo na ujibu maswali yanayofuata.( Read the following
story and answer the questions that follow)
MAAMKIZI, ADABU NA HESHIMA
Maamkizi au salamu ni tendo la watu wawili ama zaidi kujuliana hali. Mara niyingi hii huwa ni
ishara kuwa hapana shida yoyote katika watu hao. Lakini adabu ni namna ya kujichukua kwa
heshima tunapowasiliana na watu wengine.M athalani, ni lazima ujue maneno ya kusema mbele ya
wazazi wako ama watu wakubwa. Nayo heshima ni thamani ya utu. Hapa chini kuna msamiati
unaotufundisha salamu, adabu na heshima katika Kiswahili.
Ukianza na salamu , utaona kuwa kuna za aina mbalimbali. Kwa mfano, kuna salamu za wazee kwa
wazee, wadogo kwa wakubwa na salamu za kawaida zinazotumiwa na wale wenye umri sawa.
Ukimkuta dada yako baada ya muda, utamsalamia kwa kutumia;
Hujambo? Na jibu litakuwa; Sijambo!
Maamkizi mengine yanaweza kuwa kama ifuatavyo chini hapa:
SALAMU JIBU
Habari za asubuhi? Njema au nzuri
Je, habari za nyumbani? Nzuri
Habari za mama watoto? Njema
Je, hujambo mama? Sijambo
Je, wanao hawajambo? Hawajambo
Habari za masaomo? Njema
Wasemaje? Sina taabu
Nisalamie Haya
Kwa heri Kwa heri ya kuonana

2. Itafaa ikikumbukwa hapa kuwa neno ‘mzuri’ halitumiki katika maamkizi. Pia unapoagana na
mwenzako ‘kwa heri’ yeye hukujibu ‘ kwa heri ya kuonana’ lakini isitumie ‘karibu.’
Isitoshe kuna salamu nyingine kama vile; Umelalaje? U hali gani? Masalkheri? Shikamoo?
Wajionaje? Subalkheri? Na kadhalika.
Katika salamu hizi juu ‘Shikamoo’ hutumiwa na wadogo kuwaamkia watu wakubwa. Na jibu lake ni
‘Marahaba.’ Salamu hii hutumiwa kuwaonyesha watu wengine adabu na heshima.Salamu hizi
hufuatiwa na maneno ya heshima kama vile; mama, baba, kaka, shangazi, nyanya, mwalimu, bibi,
bwana, rafiki na kadhalika.
Pia kuna maneno mengine tunayotumia kuonyesha adabu hasa tunapowasilia na watu wengine nayo
ni; hodi, karibu, asante, starehe, karibu kiti, kwa heri, karibu tena, pole kwa ugonjwa, hongera
kwa kuzaa mtoto, nimekwishapoa, tafadhali njoo hapa, ngoja kidogo, na kadhalika.
Zaidi ya haya kuna maneno ya kuonyesha heshima kwa watu wengine na ni kama ifuatavyo;
kujifungua, kwenda haja, haja ndogo, samahani mwalimu, nende nje, alhamudlilahi, sikufanya
makusudi na kadhalika.
