"He is Tanzanian"

Translation: yeye ni mtanzania

[VincentOostelbos]

How do capital letters work in Swahili? Does the start of a sentence not always get a capital? How about names of nationalities/countries/places/etc.?

[cosmo-pedant]

Have an NZURI lingot! I bet you that, when one uses the Latin alphabet, it is a standard convention to capitalize the first word in a sentence. (So I'll also bet you - an nzuri lingot - that it is just a typographical error in the course here if a real sentence does not begin with a capital letter). I should have done my research!

[VincentOostelbos]

Thank you! We'll see if you're right, and then you'll get the nzuri lingot back as per your bet ;)
