There are a few other ways to express "yes" in Kikuyu, depending on the context:
* "Nĩ kwenda" (pronounced ni kwen-da) - This literally means "it is desired", and can be used to express agreement or acceptance.
* "Nĩ na" (pronounced ni na) - This literally means "I have" and can be used to agree to a request or suggestion.
* "Nĩ tene" (pronounced ni tene) - This is a more emphatic way of saying "yes", often used in situations where the speaker is strongly affirming something.
Remember that the pronunciation of "ĩĩ" is important. It is a high, nasal sound, and not like the English "ee" sound.
