    It translates to “free of charge” or something to that end.

    Ubuntu is a Bantu (broad language family of about 600 African languages including Zulu) term meaning something like “humanity” or “community”

    Near as I can tell, Granel is borrowed from spanish and in isolation would mean “grain”

      “A granel” in Spanish means “in bulk”. It’s used when you go to a store and you put however much of whatever you need in a bag. Usually done with veggies.
