"We slept well"

Translation: Tulilala vizuri

[schruuuth]

Why does it need to be “vizuri“. What's the reason for the “vi-“?

[AGreatUserName]

Class 8 (vi-) is often used to form an adverb, a bit like -ly in English. For example:

Anaimba vizuri. = "S/he sings well."
Wanaimba vizuri. = "S/he sings well."

Compare with adjectival uses of -zuri

Yeye ni mwimbaji mzuri. = "S/he's a good singer."
Wao ni waimbaji wazuri. = "They're good singers."

[schruuuth]

Thanks - that make so much more sense now.
