"Mhudumu"

Translation: Waiter

[RosaliaV1]

Is this the correct audio? I hear something like "malimumu"

[phb2013]

That's what I hear too.

[Whitney245264]

Same, i hear mwalimu

[BBazzle]

I hear a poor tortured animal trying to say something like that. Is the audio weirdly digital for anyone else?

[Natz29812]

Exactly

[Tom122719]

So do I.

[boss355028]

Yes you right I heard that

[KajiaMsuya]

It is Mwalimu ...a teacher. They do not match

[Shamso18198]

Sameeee

[Rosie43465]

Duo, please fix discrepancies between written and audio

[ElizabethF711355]

Make sure to flag it when there is a problem.

[Natz29812]

Please duo!

[Aerologia]

Does this come from Arabic's خدم(khadama) meaning to serve?

[shakir.mol]

Every kh changes to h in swahili (some pronounce it as kh though)
Khabar is habari
Khatar is hatari
Khadama becomes huduma (service)

[RowanCampb4]

I mean its not a coincidence

[AnitaL2018]

wrong audio

[Garry917152]

Audio says "Mwalimu" - a teacher. Ironically, there is another phrase in the course that says "Mwalimu si Mhudumu."

[Chris705862]

Audio doesn't match the text

[labradore1]

Wrong audio still

[KajiaMsuya]

It might be wrong audio or wrong word.

[MfonUdoiny]

This audio is messed up. It needs to be corrected by Duolingo

[NickSutton18]

This has the incorrect Audio it sounds like Mwalimumu.

[Huilly]

Wrong audio. Duolingo, please fix

[zreed2]

What would the plural of this be? Wahudumu?

[machieng]

yup!

[Jrg955529]

I hear something weird, too. Only every time this word comes up. Sounds like walimu and mhudumu overlapped, is the app trying to play two clips at once?

[SWhite3]

The audio is incorrect

[FrenchLoui1]

Wrong audio

[Tom473450]

Wrong audio

[Anita461394]

The audio is not clear, it's a mix of Mwalimu and mhudumu

[wendy91343]

My page is stuck here. I'm putting the correct answer but it constantly tells me to repeat

[AGreatUserName]

This seems to be a general problem with Duolingo, not with the course. I've heard you can get through it by making a "typo", which it will accept (while patronisingly telling you that you made a typo) ... so try something like "mhudumo" or something.

[maximilian357]

From what I can tell: whenever it can be "she" or "he", if you choose to write "she" it will say "alternative translation, 'he'". But if you answer with "he" it will only show up as "correct",even though the alternative translation can be "she".

[MfonUdoiny]

The audio for this exercise (question) is messed up. It has both "mwalimu" & "mhudumu"

[Fope_Macaulay1]

I head mwalimumu

[SWhite3]

Wali. Muumuu is what the audio sounds like

[boss355028]

It's wrong voice

[Joy541287]

The sound was "mwalimumu"

[SusanJMontoya]

[ef.13]

Thursday July 22, I still hear the same.

[ScorpioGir5]

I thought it was trying to say something like teachers (walimu) but the other "mu" sound was throwing me off.
