Pongezi is a noun from the verb kupongeza, a verb meaning to congratulate. It formerly was used in congratulating someone on recovering from the illness, but it often used now as a congratulatory expression for any purpose: graduation, success, marriage, becoming a parent, etc. (the plural is pongezini, used to two or more people) However, in this sense, the word most commonly used is hongera (pl. hongereni)
