Ukutule

Ukutule is a Zulu word (isiZulu) meaning "silence" or "quietness." It refers to a state of being without noise or sound. It can also describe a state of tranquility, peace, and stillness, either literally or figuratively. In some contexts, it can also imply secrecy or being unnoticed.

The word is often used in everyday conversation in South Africa, where Zulu is widely spoken. It can be used to request silence, to describe a peaceful environment, or to indicate that something is being kept secret.
