"Anahitaji mmea wake"

Translation: He needs his plant

[dieprinzessin]

How would you distinguish between

He needs his plant.

He needs her plant.

She needs his plant.

She needs her plant.

would you add mwaume/mwavuli and mwanamke/msichana in cases the situation is not obvious ? Like Anahitaji mmea wa mwanamke. Or Mwaume anahitaji mmea wake. or Mwanamke anahitaji mmea wa mwanaume. etc ?

That would probably make sense, but I don't know if it sounds normal to a Swahili native speaker or not. I think in most cases, you can tell from context. Spanish is the same way: su is used for his, her, its, or their, and it's not really a problem.

Context. Its a very gender nuetral language. If you went with #2 you would probably say "Anahitaji mmea la [her name.]"

[kathrynlanguage]

Could this not also mean he needs his plant?

[LIQUID_INFERNO]

It could in all ways

[VincentOostelbos]

Most adorable sentence so far.

[muganzix]

She needs her plant is correct as well

[JonasCohen]

I guess this is a woody plant
