Correction; mwema is a form of the adjective -emameaning good or nice . The mw- prefix is a singular form for a person or animal, so mtu mwema is "a good man." N.B. -- A Standard English-Swahili Dictionary by the University of Oxford gives -pole, -ema, and -zuri as meanings for "friendly" but they don't really have such one-to-one meanings in Swahili. A friendly person may very well be described as mtu mpole mtu mwema, or mtu mzuri, but in all cases they mean he or she is a good or nice person. He or she wouldn't necessarily be friendly, but might well be.
The noun mchamgamfu by itself can mean a friendly person: loquacious, happy, talkative, gets along well with people, etc. A friendly act would be kitendo cha kirafiki. He treats everyone as a friend, Anawafanyia watu wote kama rafiki.
Rafiki = friend.
