"Do you like fruits?"

Translation: Je unapenda matunda?

[Ellen278266]

I have learned it can be with or without 'je'. 'Je' is more to ask for attention when asking the question, no?

[DaveLommen]

How do I know whethet it is Je unapenda or Unapendaje?

[Deborah712044]

If you start with Je, you start a question. If you put -je at the end of the verb it means how? It would be How do you love? (a bit strange with this verb maybe)

[BeelerFami]

From what my Native Swahili speaking friends say, the -je means How...so, "How do you like the fruits?" The Je, .... is a particle that indicates the following is a statement in question form. so, "Do you like fruit?" Very similar, but not really the same question...
...What Deborah712044 says!

[Alexis579012]

But Kiswahili allows statements to become questions. Je isn't needed for every question.

Je?

[John00625]

It's a particle which is added at the beginning to indicate a question. Without it, it would just be "You like fruits."

[Lng52-._]

Can you also translate: "Je! Unapenda matunda?"

[machieng]

it's not an exclamation, it's just used to preface a question, so it doesn't really make sense
