Usage notes

edit

This word can, in rare circumstances or for the sake of political rhetoric, be used in Malawi to refer to a nation-state, especially when speaking of certain things associated with the nation, like the national anthem. Otherwise, it refers to what is sometimes called a tribe, as in "the Chewa nation".
