1. Kukanusha/Negation in Swahili

In Swahili, we negate the personal pronoun markers in the verb as well as the tenses. Remember that we have 3 personal pronouns both in singular and plural.

Zoezi I: Personal Pronoun Markers

Fill out the table below of Swahili pronouns and their markers while using the verb soma and any tenses such that you end up marking the pronoun/subject and tense markers in the verb soma.

Zoezi II: Nyakati za Kiswahili

Unakumbuka nyakati gani za Kiswahili? /Which Swahili tenses do you remember?

Vikanushi katika Swahili/Negators in Swahili

We shall derive the negators from the jambo greetings across all the three persons both in singular and plural.

The negators for each personal pronoun are shown in red in the table above. Note that in plural form, the negator precedes the subject markers that are shown in blue.

We shall now negate the different Swahili tenses that we have learned so far.

Negating the past tense (-li-)

When negating the past tense, the tense marker, -li- changes into -ku-. Thus, -ku- occupies the slot that -li- occupies in affirmative sentences. See the examples below.

Zoezi III: Kukanusha Wakati Uliopita

4. Sisi tulitembea karibu na Ziwa Michigan.

5. Nyinyi mlisoma maktabani.

6. Wao walipika chakula cha jioni.

Negating the present tense (-na-)

To understand how the negation involving the present tense works, write down any 10 Swahili verbs that you know below.

Zoezi IV: Vitenzi vya Kiswahili

What have you noticed about the verbs that you have written above?

Swahili is a bantu language and for this reason, many verbs end with -a. However, Swahili has borrowed some verbs from other languages such as Arabic. Such borrowed verbs do not end with -a. Examples of such verbs include safari/travel, jaribu/try, tafsiri/translate, etc.

The final vowel, -a, in the affirmative form changes into -i in the negative form. However, if the verb does not end with an -a in its affirmative form, the final vowel does not change in the negative form. See the examples below.

Zoezi V: Kukanusha Wakati Uliopo

Kanusha sentensi zifuatazo kuhusu shughuli za kila siku.

4. Sisi tunasikiliza muziki jioni.

5. Nyinyi mnafanya mazoezi wikendi.

6. Wao wanapika chakula kitamu.

N.B. the habitual tense, hu- is negated the same way the present tense is negated. This is because the -na- tense can serve two purposes depending on the context, either as a present tense or habitual tense.

5. Nyinyi humtembeza mbwa asubuhi.

6. Wao huoga baada ya kusoma.

5. Nyinyi mtakula chakula cha Afrika Mashariki.

6. Wao watakaa katika bweni la Lincoln.

2. Saa katika Swahili/Time in Swahili

Utangulizi/Introduction

The East African countries are located along the equator. In fact, the equator divides Kenya into almost two equal halves. Because of this, East African countries experience almost equal hours of daylight and night throughout the year. Thus, there are 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night time. For this reason, the Swahili clock differs from the western clock in that, whereas the western day starts counting at midnight, the Swahili day starts counting at 6 am when the sun rises. Hence, 7 am becomes 1 hour after sunrise. Please see the pictures shown below.

Ramani ya Afrika/Map of Afrika

Saa ya Kiswahili

The time shown inside the clock refers to the western time while the time shown outside the clock refers to the East African time. Depending on the time of the day: asubuhi, mchana, jioni, or usiku, you could read the time shown above in swahili either as:

1. Ni saa nne kamili asubuhi au

3. Siku za Wiki/Juma – Days of the Week

Utangulizi/Introduction

The swahili speakers had interacted with the Arabs for nearly 400 years before the arrival of the europeans in the 19th Century. For this reason, the Arabic culture has had an influence on the Swahili culture and language. A good example of this is on the Swahili days of the week. Friday is considered as the last day of the week and it is the day of worship in Islam. Thus, Saturday becomes the first day of the week. East African Muslims go to the mosque (msikiti) on Friday but their Christian counterparts go to church (kanisa) on Sunday. Owing to this diversity, the East Africans follow the western calendar for their economic activities. Thus, the workdays are Monday through Friday.

Noun Classes in Swahili and Fruits and Vegetables

In Swahili, all the nouns belong to specific noun classes. Thus, noun classes in Swahili determine whether the sentence is grammatical or not. We will use the different fruits and vegetables that you have identified in the pictures above to practice how to form grammatical sentences in Swahili by observing the rules of different noun classes.

Generally speaking, nouns are categorized both in their singular and plural forms. The only noun class that is predictable is that of animates (M/WA). We have already looked at a few examples of the nouns belonging to the noun class of animates.

Here, we shall focus on the following elements/components of a Swahili sentence: Noun Class (NC), Noun Class Marker (NCM), Noun (N), Adjective (ADJ), and Verb (V). See the table below

Zoezi III

Complete the table below of food items belonging to different noun classes. Note that the verb takes the subject marker (NCM) + Tense Marker (TM) + Verb (V). The adjectives of quantity and quality are marked by the Noun Class (NC) markers with exception to JI/MA in singular form. Also, there is a lot of variation in marking adjectives belonging to N/N noun class.

Sokoni

Sokoni is a social place where people meet, greet, and have general conversations about what the seller has, what the buyer wants, and how much the items cost. Items at many market places do not have price tags and for that reason, there is always room for bargaining. Thus, we shall learn three important skills that you may require when buying items at the market: inquiring the prices of the food items, bargaining, and requesting the items.

2. X ni shilingi ngapi?

3. Unauzaje X

Kuagiza/ordering or requesting for the items

Kuna njia tatu za kuagiza bidhaa.

1. Ninaomba X moja, mbili, tatu ...

2. Ninataka X mmoja, miwili, mitatu ...

3. Nipatie X kimoja, viwili, vitatu ...

Note that you can substitute X with different food items and the adjectives of quantity will change depending on their noun classes

Mazungumzo I

Muuzaji: Hujambo Kastoma!

Kastoma: Sijambo, bwana! Habari za mchana?

Muuzaji: Salama. Karibu katika kibanda changu. Nikuuzie nini leo?

Kastoma: Asante. Ndizi ni bei gani?

Muuzaji: Jumla ni shilingi mia moja na tisini.

Kastoma: Hizi hapa pesa.

Muuzaji: Asante sana. Hivi hapa vitu vyako.

Kastoma: Asante sana. Kwaheri.

Muuzaji: Kwaheri na karibu tena.

Zoezi IV: Mazungumzo ya Sokoni

In pairs, follow the example of the dialogue given above to practice to inquire the prices of different fruits and vegetables from the pictures that you used ealier in the unit as well as requesting them by mentioning the number of items that you require. One of you should play the role of the seller while the other plays the customer’s role. You may want to switch the roles such that each of you practices to play both roles.

Kupatana Bei/Agreeing on the Price

Often times, items at the open air markets do not have price tags. For this reason, you must learn how to bargain to have the prices of the items reduced for you. However, the bargaining should be reasonable. For instance, you could ask the seller to reduce by 30 shillings if an item is being sold at 100 shillings.

Mazungumzo II

Muuzaji: Karibu karibu karibu, Kastoma!!! Machungwa, maembe, ndizi, na kabeji kwa bei rahisi!

Kastoma: Hujambo! Unauzaje nyanya?

Muuzaji: Sijambo, dada! Karibu sana. Nyanya ni shilingi mia mbili kwa kila fungu.

Kastoma: Lo! Ni ghali sana. Punguza bei tafadhali.

Muuzaji: Nyanya zangu ni freshi kabisa na kubwa, dada.

Kastoma: Ndiyo, lakini sina shilingi mia mbili. Nina shilingi mia moja na hamsini.

Muuzaji: Ongeza shilingi thelathini.

Kastoma: Sina shilingi thelathini lakini ninaweza kutoa shilingi mia moja na sabini.

Muuzaji: Sawa, nipatie shilingi mia moja na sabini.

Kastoma: Asante sana. Pesa hapa.

Muuzaji: Nyanya zako hapa. Asante na karibu tena.

Kastoma: Kwaheri!
