How do you say handsome in Swahili?

Answer 1

sura. Mzuri (pl., wazuri; the word has different forms depending on the noun it modifies) is an adjective that has many uses, among them good-looking or pleasant in appearance, used for both sexes and all ages. Mrembo (pl., warembo) is best translated as "beautiful" and is only used of women and babies, sometimes young children. Used alone with no noun to modify, mrembo can be translated as "beauty." In the plural is very common and refers to a group of beautiful women, used as a jocular, loving, or simply polite compliment, e.g., one might greet a group of women, "Salaam, Warembo." The word sura carries no hint of good-looking, It merely means face or appearance. If you said a man had a sura nzuri, you mean he's handsome. Ditto uso mzuri(uso is the anatomical word for face). Sura has many uses related to "face," e.g., the facade of a building.
