"Habari za asubuhi mama?"

Translation: How is the morning, mother?

[ghassanarabe]

"Good morning, mother" isn't accepted?

[JessicaMeg9]

Its how is the morning. Not good morning

[hidethedog]

Why can 'asubuhi' (and for that matter 'jioni') be plural and so use za instead of ya?

[John M.]

It's actually the "habari" that are plural, to translate it as literally as possible it says "What are the newses/goings on of the morning mother?". Habari literally translates to news or goings on.

[Desper8-Dan]

why can it not be "how are you this morning mother"

[TianRuei]

How is your mother this morning?

[TianRuei]

How is your mother this morning?

[azazelo76]

What does "morning mother" mean? Is not the translation "how is your mother this morning" more accurate?

[ZahidurRah1]

just think like that someone was visiting his/her mom and asking > "how's you're morning, mom?" ......or "how's the morning, mom?" < then it will make sense. but, "how is your mother this morning" is totally a different question in a different context.

[BruxaFaith]

Why is there a question mark at the end of sentences like this?

[ZahidurRah1]

just think like that someone was visiting his/her mom and asking > "how's you're morning, mom?" ......or "how's the morning, mom?" < then it will make sense.

"How is the morning, mother" sounds a bit robotic, no? And this has been happening frequently. Of course it's easy to know wwhat it means in english, but I find it''s a bit literal. Maybe the crew (bless them for creating this course) should work on implied meanings now that we have literal translations?
