"Upendo" is love. "-penda" is the verb base for "like" and "love," with "kupenda" being the infinitive (to like, to love). "Unapenda" is the second-person, singular, present-tense form of the verb: "you like" or "you love." "Nakupenda" is "I love you." I'm not aware of any meaning of "upenda" by itself, though.
