Best Answer

The word for white is actually --eupe, with the dashes taking on the prefix of the noun in which you are describing.

White shoes is viatu vyeupe

White hat is kofia nyeupe

White tooth is jino jeupe

If you're talking about "white people," the words are "mzungu" for one and "wazungu" for more than one.
