"Usiku mwema Rehema"

Translation: Have a good night Rehema

[TseDanylo]

Is this a parting phrase?

[bwana-b]

Yes.

[EmmanuelChigbata]

Is usiku njema wrong? If so why?

[Catriona28475]

Yes, because njema goes with N class nouns only.

[EmmanuelChigbata]

Asante sana.

[JenLTeeter]

Thank you for this. I wasn't aware yet, by my own fault, that there were different noun classes. How cool Is there a good way of learning which class certain nouns are?

What do you mean?

[Nigaude]

I am told by native speakers that this is not a good thing to say because it is wishing someone a good 'romantic' evening.

[JSDHFOGOEVAIDBDO]

What's better than a non native speaker accidentally flirting with everyone

[hellenokello]

how is that possible i am native speaker and i didn't know that

[1lovebunni]

I have a question... What does Have a and what does good night mean in that? Or is it all one phrase and cant be saud any other way?

[Nigaude]

It is a manner of wishing that someone have a good night and is more familiar.

[hellenokello]

hi

[DavidLamb53073]

Now I see why Duolingo said I had missed a space, with my "Goodnight, Rehema". It's not the greeting, like "good afternoon" or "good evening", but it seems to express the hope that Rehema will have a good night.

[Raven7131]

I said have a good evening and it told me I was wrong how is that so?

[tuilap]

If I understand correctly you must say Have a good night. Not evening.

[OyimbaPati]

Asante sana

Mwema sounds like mama. Is that right, ?

[BamaGator]

No. The W sound is in there. Listening with headphones helps
