What does jambo habari mean in Swahili?

"Jambo habari" is not a phrase in Swahili. It's likely a mix of two separate greetings:

* Jambo: This is a common Swahili greeting, meaning "Hello."

* Habari: This word means "news" or "information." It's often used as a greeting, with the full phrase being "Habari gani?" (What's the news?)

While you can say "Jambo" and "Habari gani" separately, they don't form a single phrase together.

If you're looking for a more complete greeting, you could say:

* Jambo! (Hello!)

* Habari gani? (What's the news?)

* Habari za asubuhi! (Good morning!)

* Habari za mchana! (Good afternoon!)

* Habari za jioni! (Good evening!)
