    What does it mean? where did it come from?
    With a little research on the internet and the tip that it was a Swahili greeting, I discovered the following translations;

    habari za asubuhi - good morning
    habari za wanafunzi (wako) - how are your students
    habari za mwalimu wako - how is your teacher
    habari za siku nyingi - how have you been
    (when you haven't seen someone lately)
    habari za watoto - how are the children
    habari zako - how are you
    habari za kazi - how is work
    habari zenu - how are you (pl)
    habari gani - how are you (lit. what news)
    habari nzuri - fine (lit good news)

    From all of these, we see that habari translates to our modern day "What's up?"
    The question - habari betta - how is your betta or hello betta or what is the betta news.
    And the reply betta habari nzuri - my betta is fine! Good betta news
    What does BettaHabari mean? I think it means How is your Betta
    'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
