Huna Jambo[edit]
I changed the translation because it was not a literal translation. "Huna jambo" literally means "You don't have a matter (issue)". To say "Do you have a matter (issue)" you would say "Una jambo?" The response is to confirm, "Sijambo" or "I do not have a matter (issue)" 2603:6010:4003:1A13:1593:CAAF:BF4F:C6C9 15:32, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Jambo and it's plural, mambo are not used for generic "things" but issues/matters. I don't think "anything" is a bad translation but it can't be used as broadly as "anything" is used in English.
