"Mpaka wetu"

Translation: Our boundary

[Narda516243]

What was the difference between wetu and yetu?

[TiNXD7]

yetu is the possessive plural of the M/MI class

[CliffordPereira]

Can this not be "our fence"?

[juryrigging]

As far as I'm aware, mpaka does not mean fence.

A fence is not a actually a boundary. If you ever get into a border dispute with a neighbour, you might have to be able to establish things like who the fence belongs to, and what side of the boundary it is on -- yours, your neighbours, or equally on both. The fence marks the boundary, and can keep people out, but it is not the boundary itself.

According to the Swahili-English dictionary on Glosbe, mpaka can mean "barrier", but it is quite far down the list of meanings, suggesting it might not be a common usage of the word.

Can mpaka mean limit?
