Shoutout to Emilian mbassa!

He is one of the people who made this course. Go say thank you on his profile page or something. :)

[OliverBens1]

Will do! Thank you everyone who helped make this course! I love being able to learn a new language! :D And what does "mbassa" mean? Or is that Emilian's surname?

[JerrickGon]

i feel like Emilian bucks!

[NissanBarbarroja]

Names have incredible cultural significance, and in many languages names have significant grammatical impact. Also, learning the meaning of names teaches you new vocabulary.

You would learn more about Swahili by memorizing a list of Swahili names rather than using your time to worry about whether learning names matters.

I hopped here after I finished a session in Irish lesson...I need to readjust reading the Swahili because of the letter 'm', haha.

/ɛmi'lian ni m̩'keɲa/

Correct me if I'm wrong, since there's no audio for this sentence as of now and IPA will have to do.

There is now (17 Jan 2021)

[APMcClendo]

No why does the sound work

[ruizye]

Does anybody know why I cant hear the sentence being said?

[Franzi161294]

Would "Emilian si Mkenya" then mean that Emilian is not Kenyan?

[John M.]

I know it's been 6 months, but yes that is what that means

[JohnGakuba1]

I thought an article ''the''was important to use

[Gigi167184]

Were is the sound

[rahma.mahm]

Why there's no sound for Swahili. Please do something about it

[iv3kQ6dC]

But what is plular form of the Emilian, Rehema and Juma names?
I assume that plural of the name "Juma" is "Majuma" becose the word "juma" is 5-6 class and its plural form is "majuma".
But how about "Emilian" and "Rehema"?

[machieng]

These are proper nouns, like Brian or Elizabeth

[Aayonah]

Would you say the M in Mkena can someone tell me?...

[Jocy468290]

But like why does it mean that in the first place

[CandiceWYSIWYG]

How do I restart the lessons from the beginning? Thanks!

[DashingBre123]

this is an awesome sentence

[King.G1]

Is the m in mkenya masculine?? Why not wkenya??
