"Mwalimu yumo ndani"

Translation: The teacher is inside

[whsndstalb]

what is the difference between yupo, yuko, yumo

[Renata725212]

Because 1) teacher it is 3th person sing. yu -. U- it is 2th person sing. 2) Why not yumo ? I think can be also yupo. :)

Can "Mwalimu yumo ndani," be translated as "The teacher is there inside," (using locative "there")?

[Renata725212]

billhatcher Of course you can. :) Is possible that Duolingo will not accept it but the sentence will be proper.

The sentences "Mimi niko Tanzania" or "Sisi tuko shuleni" are clear to me, because "ni" and "tu" respectivly are subject prefix of 1. person singular/plural.
But what the about the "yumo"? Isn't "A" the subject prefix for 3. person singular?
