Kenya = Mrs, wife (both apply)
Nyanya:

Kenya = grandmother
Bwana:
Tanzania = Mr, lord, master (all apply)
Kenya: = Mr, husband, lord, master (all apply)

Tanzania Mainland:
tomato = nyanya
tap = bomba
*Note: What Mainlanders call mfereji, Zanzibaris call mtaro.
Tanzania Zanzibar:
tomato = tungule
tap = mfereji

How about this one:
* trash can in USA = dust bin in UK
* lorry in UK = truck in USA
*stima in Kenya = umeme in Tanzania
* Kamisheni in Tanzania Zanzibar = Tume in Tanzania Mainland
