"Rice with chicken"

Translation: Wali kwa kuku

[ahun00]

I don't think any restaurant agrees with "kwa" instead of "na"

[dsimonds]

It is one way of using the word "kwa". Here's an example from Dictionary of Standard Swahili: "Alikula wali kwa mchuzi".

[ahun00]

It is. But tell that to the restaurant owners in Arusha or Dar.

[Flickter44]

Sorry, wali na kuku au wali na mchuzi - not kwa

[aboutpurpo]

I agree with the usage notes, below, even though "kwa" may also be correct.

[Sandra250074]

I also heard "na" always. Locals never used "kwa".

[pixilico]

Why "kwa" instead "na"? And, if it is not the way you speak any place, where should I use it?
