Did not accept "we are wearing shoes"

It refused "we're putting the shoes on". I'm reporting it.

It is strange to have "we are wearing" as one of the definitions they give, but then they do not accept it in the sentence. Glitch in the system, I think

What about "we put on shoes?"

With -vaa “wear/be wearing”, a verb of action that triggers a state of being, the perfect marker -me- may also express the notion of “completed state”, while the present tense marker -na- refers to an action that is just taking place. English uses the pattern “be + present participial (-ing form)” in both cases. a. Juma anavaa shati “Juma is wearing a shirt (is putting on a shirt)/Juma wears a shirt” b. Juma amevaa shati “Juma is wearing a shirt (is dressed in a shirt)/Juma has worn a shirt”

Yes, in English we use 2 different verbs, whereas in Swahili it's 1 verb but 2 tenses.

It's interesting that in speaking of one's garb, in Swahili, one doesn't "possess" his items of clothing, as we do in English and in many other languages. One speaks, e.g, of putting on "the shirt", not "my shirt", etc. I like this feature. The same feature is practiced in Russian. What about other languages you all are studying?
