However, depending on the specific Luhya sub-dialect and context, you could use some of these words:
* "Mushahara": This is the most common word, borrowed from Arabic and used across many Bantu languages in East Africa.
* "Mshahara": This is another common variation of "mushahara," with a slightly different pronunciation.
* "Mali ya kazi": This literally translates to "money of work" and can be used to refer to salary.
* "Mpesa ya kazi": Similar to "mali ya kazi", this means "M-Pesa of work" and refers to salary paid via the mobile money platform M-Pesa, very common in Kenya.
It's important to note that the most appropriate word will depend on the specific context and the Luhya sub-dialect being used.
It's always best to clarify with a native Luhya speaker to ensure accurate communication.
