"Ninafikiri kwamba atakuja"

Translation: I think that he will come

[Klgregonis]

That is optional in the English version of this sentence. I think he will come and I think that he will come mean the same thing. It's something we deal with in teaching English to Spanish speakers, since the que is obligatory in Spanish.

[s.rombaut]

What's the use of 'kwamba'?

[AGreatUserName]

It's like "that". Not "that" as in "that thing" or "that person", but "that" + statement.

[aboutpurpo]

"I think" and "I am thinking" should both be acceptable here.

[Gazelle1596]

It seems less common/unnatural to me to say "I am thinking that..."

[Catriona28475]

As a native English speaker I agree - very unnatural.

[piguy3]

As a native English speaker, I disagree: certainly not "unnatural," much less "very unnatural." Gazelle1596's "less common," sure, I'll buy that.

[pahash]

"I'm thinking" sounds to me like Kenyan English rather than English English here.

What about "I think he's coming" (marked wrong)?

[Catriona28475]

Although the present continuous tense can indicate the future in English, they use only the future tense in this course. I suppose it makes it clear that you have recognized the future tense in the question.

[WarrenEshl]

"I believe that he will come." Is also correct !
