    How can ninyi and wewe both be correct answers when the English is "you're ALL"? Am I missing something here?

      This is an error and I will report it. "You all" can replace the plural version of "you" . Now the program is reading "you" and "all" as separate words and this will have to be corrected.

        This should be "Ninyi wote ni wamarekani"

        first prompt under the word 'american' is mmarekani, then beneath it is wamarekani... why does using the first one make an incorrect sentence?

          The word "all" indicates that you need plural and mmarekani is the singular form.
