you need to indicate if you want the second person singular or plural

And English speakers do not say "You dug a farm." Maybe "you cultivated a field." Something like that. There is a need for a more natural-sounding English sentence here. Reported.

"to run a farm" I know Mswahili say 'dig' for palia

In English, one wouldn't say "you farmed a farm" or even "you dug a farm." You would either say, "you planted" or "you plowed" or "you cultivated." So the English clue for "kulima" be "cultivated" Besides, the word for "dig" is "kuchimba."

Kuchimba sio kulima!
