"Wamarekani wanaenda mkutanoni"

Translation: Americans are going to a meeting

[farstalia]

I answered "Americans are going for a meeting" and got it wrong. can someone explain

[late_bette]

Why is "-ni" added to the end of mkutano (meeting) in this sentence? Was this discussed in a previous section? Thanks!

[AGreatUserName]

Mkutano is just "meeting", used as a subject or an object (eg. the meeting was good - I enjoyed the meeting)

Mkutanoni is a locative noun, used as a location in the sentence and generally equivalent to "to/from/at (a/the) meeting." After the verb kwenda, a locative noun is generally used to indicate the destination of movement. After the verb kutoka, a locative noun is generally used to indicate the origin of movement, etc.
