His animal instincts

English to Swahili Medical Medical (general)
I am doing some medical report in Swahili and want to put this phrase into Swahili; "His animal instincts." This will help me bring out very well the industrious character of some health worker in my report. I appreciate your help and thanks in advance. This medical report will be read in Zanzibar and Tanzania and hence I am looking for a Swahili Tanzania locale.

silika zake za mnyama

According to the TUKI; English - Swahili Dictionary The Tanzania Swahili word for instinct is silika and thus "his animal instincts" becomes in Tanzania Swahili as "silika zake za mnyama"

An important note is that since its 'instincts' (plural) we shall use the connector 'za' as opposed to if it was 'instinct' (singular) where we could have used the connector 'ya'
Example sentence:

Silika zake za mnyama zimemfanya akabweka kama mbwa.

Ni nani ataniambia yeyote anayemjua ambaye silika zake za mnyama zimemfaidi?

hisia zake za kinyama

sentensi hutumika kuashiria hali ya binadamu kutojali mwenzake
Example sentence:

Hisia zake za kinyama zilimfanya Juma kumdhuru mwenzake kikatili.

Peer comment(s):

disagree VINCENT OKANGI : Kwa kingereza hisia huwa feelings, pia neno 'animal' tafsiri yake sahihi itakuwa 'mnyama' Hivyo neno kinyama si sawa kwani inazua maana tofauti, kielezi cha kufananisha
