How do you say liberty in Swahili?

There isn't a single perfect word for "liberty" in Swahili, as the concept can be nuanced. Here are some options and their meanings:

* Uhuru: This is the most common and direct translation of "freedom" or "independence." It's the word used for the independence of Kenya and Tanzania.

* Ukombozi: This translates to "liberation" or "emancipation" and implies freedom from oppression or slavery.

* Haki ya kujitawala: This literally means "right to self-government" and emphasizes the ability to make one's own choices.

* Uhuru wa mtu binafsi: This means "personal freedom" and focuses on individual liberty.

The best choice depends on the specific context you are using it in.
