What is the African Luhya term for English word tea?

There isn't a single, universally accepted Luhya term for "tea." The Luhya language has different dialects spoken across its various communities, and each might have its own word for "tea."

Here are some possibilities, depending on the specific Luhya dialect:

* Chai: This is the most common word used in Kenya for tea, and it's likely that many Luhya speakers would use this term. It's borrowed from Hindi.

* Kava: This word is used in some Luhya dialects to refer to a specific type of tea, typically made with a local herb.

* Munyole: This term might be used in some regions to refer to tea, especially when discussing a specific type of tea like black tea.

It's always best to ask a native Luhya speaker to confirm the specific term used in their community.

Please let me know if you have any other Luhya words you'd like to know the English translation for!
