"A child is not an adult."

Translation: Mtoto si mtu mzima.

[Drasher]

I love how this reads literally. Children aren't WHOLE people. They're just tiny little half things wandering around on their little half legs.

[Didier151154]

I think when you say Mzima without mtu it may sound that you are questioning the mental ability rather than the physical one.

Why "Mtoto si mtu mzima" and not "Mtoto si mzima" ?

[AGreatUserName]

-zima can also mean "healthy" but to make it mean "adult" it's generally paired with mtu

[John00625]

There is literally no difference in what you just wrote down.......

Sorry, my bad. I have edited my post.

"Wewe mzima".. How come mzima here has another meaning

[MillieMill4]

Mtu mkubwa and mtu mzima are the same thing in my opinion

[IsaacKrese]

Mkubwa means elder or big (brother) not ?

[Munchkin1404]

Yes, but it also means big in general

[Fred264587]

As a swahili speaker the Correct answer would be Mkubwa. Please fix this. Mzima jndicate whether one is alive or in their right sense of mind
