"Mimi ni mgeni."

Translation: I am a guest.

[Henroriro]

Attention: there are no articles in Swahili.

So how do I know which article to use in English? Would "the gast" be expressed differently?

[JoeHardy022580]

It sounds like she's saying ninyi instead of mimi.

How would you say "I've arrived as your guest"

[siegfriedd18]

Duo says "I am the guest" is wrong. Is this an error, or should we know that we should say "a" here?

[dibsmft]

I would understand either without further context

Elsewhere DL translates mgeni as substitute in 'mwalimu mgeni', but it's marked wrong here
If you ask directions, you may hear 'mimi ni mgeni hapa or 'I'm a stranger here'; but I haven't tried 'stranger' to see if it is marked wrong :-)
