"Ukuta una nyufa"

Translation: A wall has cracks

[bookwolf]

Could this also be "The wall has cracks"?

[Catriona28475]

Yes, that would be better. (It's more likely to be a specific wall than a non-specific wall.)

[killearn]

Aargh, more inconsistency in the acceptance of definite and indefinite articles

[AndyCole9]

Arrrgh indeed!!

[PolyglotMinds]

Shouldn't it be "ana" instead of "una"?

[Catriona28475]

That would mean "he/she has".
"Ukuta" is in noun class 11 (U), so the prefix is u-.

[IndianaJBird]

Why not ina?

[Catriona28475]

Because the "i-" prefix only applies to class 9 (N singular) nouns.
"Ukuta" is in noun class 11 (U), so the prefix is u-.

[Mark59939]

It should be... the wall has cracks

Anybody here with an southern accent is having a hard time?
