Am not a Tanzania really, but pweza is a squid or octopus, secondly it cam mean a scab - a result of an injury (verb) let the scab dry.
Sentence
"I see you like (pweza) to answer you i cannot"
Swahili has sayings, meaning this statement is not literal, you need to find the "meaning" of the statement and not the translations. Am consulting my Swa gurus for more.
