What is the Swahili word for forgiveness?

promise (noun) = ahadi

promise (verb) kuahidi

Ameahidi kuja = he or she has promised to come. However, it is not wrong to say ametoa ahadi (he or she gave a promise), but it's awkward and Wordy.

The Word ahadi can also mean "appointment" -- e.g., Nina ahadi na daktari kesho, I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow.
