this is a Shona saying with a connotation of narcissism that means someone has an over-inflated ego—a huge sense of importance and wants to always be treated as though they were a deity.


A literal translation of kuda kuitwa Mwari is "they want to be appointed as God."

Example sentence:​

Nhingrikini uya-uya wandakakuudza nezvake anozvinzwa shuga stereki. Ari kuda kuitwa Mwari.

That person I told you about is extremely self-absorbed. They want to be worshipped.
