"They bought assorted shoes"

Translation: Walinunua viatu mbalimbali

[Ludo38469]

Mbalimbali means different. WHy do you say in this case it means assorted ? This is the opposite...

[Cognocto]

Is Walivinunua viatu mbalimbali also correct?

[AGreatUserName]

Yep. That's a bit more likely to be interpreted as meaning specific assorted shoes though.
