Message: [QUOTE="Claire James, post: 31435"] [I]Chigananda[/I] in Shona means the practice of abandoning the path followed by the majority and following the one that pleases you alone; however, in the chiShona language, that would be: [I]Maitiro okurasa gwara riri kuteverwa nevamwe voruzhinji, wotevera rinokufadza iwe woga[/I]. The second meaning of [I]chigananda [/I]is simply a grifter, i.e., someone who tries to get money or other benefits from people through dishonest means, trickery, or manipulation. Think of them as con artists, scammers, or swindlers, but they often operate on a smaller, more personal, or repetitive scale. The plural form of [I]chigananda [/I]is [I]zvigananda[/I]. P.S. There is a misconception of [I]chigananda [/I]and [I]chigandanga[/I]. The latter means a war hero or a war veteran. [/QUOTE]
