"Habari za asubuhi baba?"

Translation: Good morning, father?

[EliteMonkey777]

It's "How is the morning father?"
"Good Morning Father!" is more like "asubuhi memwa baba!"

[Jasper486861]

"How is the morning father?" is the literal translation but doesn't sound natural in English. "Good morning father!" doesn't mean the same thing but is used similarly.

So is this more of a " hi how's it going"

Why is this asked as a question?

[SeunJoseph]

Exactly! Why?

[Ignacio967724]

When do you use za or ya?

[SeunJoseph]

I need to know this too

Should the Swahili sentence end with ? Or !

How is the morning father

[MBG266009]

If "Habari ya/za leo?" is translated "How is the day?", then why can't "Habari za asubuhi, baba?" be translated, "How are (you) this morning, father/dad?", as well as "Good morning, father."? The answer is "Nzuri.", which is nonsense in answer to "Good morning"!

[MBG266009]

How are you this ____, grandfather?" was accepted as an alternative translation for a sentence like this one. I think "How are you, this morning, Father?" should be accepted as an alternative translation for this one, too.

It's a statement...why is there a question mark at the end?

[Derrick437546]

I disagree. You are inconsistent in your teaching.

I feel like giving up but I really want to learn how to speak swahili
