Breaking "atampima" down:
a + ta + m + pima,
a- = subject (he/she),
-ta- = future tense marker,
-m- = object infix. to agree with the class of the object receiving the action. Here -m- for the m-/mw- noun class of mtoto,
-pima = verb root "examine"
To check which noun classes take which object infixes, refer to the tips and notes here https://www.duolingo.com/skill/sw/Object-Infixes
