"How much is bread?"

Translation: Mkate shilingi ngapi?

[Kole-Wright]

Could you say "Mkate NI shilingi ngapi?"

[danielmokmad]

yep, that's correct. most people in Tanzania will just say "mkate shingapi" (a contraction of shilingi and ngapi), while most people in Kenya would ask "mkate ni pesa ngapi?"

[wanonyane]

Why do we use bei in other stuff and shilingi in others?! Is there a rule of thumb?!

[ElizabethM885991]

I said "mkate ni bei gani". Would that work? It was marked incorrect.

Why not " Mkate ni bei gani ? "
