This name also exists in Arabic, جميلة /Jamila/ (or it can be read /Jamilat/ in context), and is female nominative case, meaning "beautiful".

I wrote "Jamila is washing the clothes" and it says it's not correct.

Would this also be the standard translation for "Jamila does (the) laundry"?

EDIT: "to do laundry" is accepted for "kufua nguo," so I'm thinking the answer is "yes" and have reported it

Can the Swahili words for "washing" and "cleaning" be used as synonyms - as in cleaning/washing the bucket, and cleaning/washing clothes?

what is the "pl" tile that keeps coming up?? It hasn't been used yet, but it's been there lots of times. I'm confused!
