    How would I say "What is the student's name?"? Is it similar?

      You asked this a year ago but it seems no one answered. You may already know the answer by now but just in case, your sentence would be "Jina la mwanafunzi ni nani?"

      I put, "Student, what is your name?" Is that correct, or does the word order have to match?

        Same question for me. It is more natural for me to directly address the student first in the sentence.

            Duo, please do better with instructions for swahili and please fix your audio problems.

              This doesn't follow the format of the other languages.

                Frustrating to say the least

                What is the name of your student? Would that then be: jina ni nani mwanafunzi lako? ??
