"Man"

Translation: Mwanaume

[SoniaCamar9]

Wanaume is for singular?

[AGreatUserName]

No, wanaume is plural.

Mwanaume = man (singular)
Wanaume = men (plural)

There are many words that begin with mw- in the singular and simply drop the m for the plural.

[BwanaSimba]

Please note that 'man' (singular) is 'mwanamume' and not 'mwanaume'.

[Ivoryblossum]

BwanaSimba, I see why that would be true etymology-wise, but in all the various places I've studied (including private lessons), I've never seen it that way. Could it be that over time the middle m was liaised right out of there?
