"Ninyi ni waholanzi" is not accepted, Why is that?

    I guess it wasn't supposed to be plural. :/

    "You are Dutch" can be either singular or Plural. Talking to one person, "You are Dutch"; talking to a group of people, "You are Dutch".

              Sorry. I have just sent a "my answer should be accepted, but, distracted as I was, I failed to notice my singular "mholanzi" following my plural "ninyi". I take my report back. Sorry again DUO.
