"Rafiki zangu"

Translation: My friends

[Aria487]

The Arabic version of Rafiki is رفيق /rafigh/ companion or friend, nominative case of رفق.

[Aerologia]

Shouldn't that be ٌرَفِيْق(rafeequn) and ٌرِفْق(rifqun) respectively for the two. Additional ي between ف and ق is not for case, but it is used to indicate that it is for adjectives, most of the time.

My friend was not accepted. Please explain!

[JaredBogaa]

Plural of friends should be marafiki. Rafiki is singular

[Gita-ji]

As 'rafiki' is N/N class, the same word is used for both singular and plural.

[PeterGauli]

In some regions people say marafiki in others they say rafiki. In swahili there are a lot of regional differences.

[BigMubz]

This is not correct, the proper translation for 'my friend' is 'Rafiki Yangu'. 'Friend' is one of the fee exceptions that belong is the family noun class there for you use 'yangu'

[ScorpioGir5]

Zangu is used with what example(s), if not rafiki?
