What is the luhya word for English thank?

There isn't one specific Luhya word for "thank you" that's universally used across all Luhya dialects. However, here are some common expressions used:

* "Asante" - This is a Swahili word that is widely understood and used in Luhya communities. It is a direct translation of "thank you".

* "Nga'we" - This is a more traditional Luhya expression meaning "thank you" and is commonly used in the Bukusu dialect.

* "Shiko" - This word also means "thank you" and is commonly used in the Maragoli dialect.

* "Nga'we" - This is another common phrase used in the Isukha dialect.

It's important to remember that Luhya is a group of languages, not one singular language. There are variations in vocabulary and grammar across different dialects. If you're unsure about the correct expression, it's always best to ask a local speaker for clarification.
