The one thing that is really weird in Swahili though is how time is measured. I never really understood it, but there is something about the day being divided into segments and hours within those segments, so it's not a continuous 24 (or 12) hours.
Admittedly, my lack of understanding may be because my Swahili vocabulary is limited to basic greetings, ordering beer, and naming a few types of African animals.
