How do you say 'you are' in Swahili?
Answer: wewe ni
This depends on context ... on the words that will follow. If talking about location, "uko" (for one person) or "mko" (for more than one) is the verb, as in: "Uko wapi?" or "Mko wapi?" ("You are where?")
FURTHER DISCUSSION. There are many ways to say "you are," and the most common is probably wewe ni . . . as above. You can also say wewe u . . . or leave the wewe out and say simply u, e.g., u mtoto; mimi mtu mzima (you are a child; I am an adult). Finally, the verb particle can be left out completely (as is often done in English: "You ready?"), and very often is: wewe mwalimu (you are a teacher' you're the teacher). An old greeting still used is u hali gani? (how are you; how are you feeling?).
As suggested in the first answer, you are in a place is more complicated. Just as common as uko wapi? is upo wapi? There is also umo wapi (where are you inside a place), which is commonly heard is such uses as Umo nchini / mjini humu (you are in this country / city). The Swahili student should refer to a good grammar for explanations of the various uses and for guidance in the different shades of meaning; dictionaries will probably not help.

What does Mugambi mean in Swahili?
This writer has never heard the word mugambi and doesn't find it in any form in the Standard Swahili-English Dictionary or on the online dictionaries. It sounds like a person's name, particularly a family name. It may well have a meaning in one of the many East African tribal languages. It also might be a variant spelling for mgambi, but we don;t find that word either.
Mafanakio
Fanaka, a noun, means success in one's endeavors (studies, work, family, etc.). This contributor has never heard anyone say it, though there is at least one school in Tanzania by that name. The common word for success is a plural noun, mafanikio, formed from the passive verb kufanikiwa, to be successful, itself formed from the noun fanaka.
Fora is in the dictionary with success as one of its meanings, but it's not in common use.

How do you say 'many blessings' in Swahili?
in Swahili many is mingi though they're is many different words for many.
in Swahili blessings is karama. Many blessings is mingi karama.
All of the above is wrong. Many is an adjective, and the Swahili equivalent is -ingi, which takes different prefixes to agree with nouns. The word for blessing, both sing. and pl., is baraka. So "many blessings" is baraka nyingi. (Mingi would agree nouns in the same class as miti, trees: miti mingi, many trees.)
Karama is a noun in Swahili, but it doesn't mean blessing, which in Swahili (baraka) as in English means a gift from God.
