Is it possible to use only "Wazuri" as short for "Watu wazuri" (Good/kind/pretty people)?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/John M.

Kind of, most would say "Ni wazuri" just to clear up that you are talking about "them/the people"

When do I use Nzuri in place of Mzuri?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/RobinK17

I think that "m" like in mzuri is applied to living things so e.g., mtu mzuri. N in nzuri would be applied to non-livijng things/inanimate objects like meza (table) nzuri.

Nzuri is an adverb and mzuri is an adjective.

Please correct me if im wrong
