Translation: A plane was flying

I finished the tree few weeks back. I am going to Zanzibar for a holiday. Thank you Duolingo and the people who contribute. I have learnt a lot from the comments. Asante sana.

Ndege means bird too!

[SimonandNe]

I thought that too, but the above comment is right... since a bird is an animal, it would be alikuwa akiruka. Tricky.

[Katie655019]

"Ndege" is also bird...and it can also fly. That is a confusing sentence to translate if you only accept one answer.

[AGreatUserName]

Ndege alikuwa akiruka = The bird was flying. (Birds are animate.)

[BabaKwaku]

I think its dumb that it told me i was wrong cause i put a plane instead of the plane. Its a hater
