Greetings in Kirundi

How do you say "Thank you very much for joining us today. It is a pleasure to have you with us" in Kirundi or at least Swahili?

Apparently the editor has a different English-Kirundi translation book than I do. I bought mine in Hungary.

Best answer: You'll have to figure out some spanish, but here's a page of Kurundi phrases. That might give a start. And this page has wavs to help you with pronunciation of a few things. If no fluent Kurundi speakers come on here to help, maybe instead of saying the above phrase exactly, you could piece a similar sentiment together and say "Thank you very much and welcome. Please make yourself comfortable. It is good to meet you all." or something where the sentiment will still be understood.

Response by poster: I did my thing already... ended up saying "May God Bless You," which worked equally well, I believe. Well - they sort of nodded. yeah.
