"You were born in the year two thousand"

Translation: Mlizaliwa mwaka elfu mbili

[billhatcher]

Ulizaliwa is you singular. Mlizaliwa is you plural. So for me, it would help if the English translation offered "You all", "You (all)", or "You (plural)" as a prompt for mlizaliwa.

What purpose does "wa" serve in this answer? I think this is the first time I've seen "mwaka" and "elfu" separated when expressing years.

[Maggie42255]

Yes, please explain this to me too.

[alberto967501]

hapa pia kuna makosa, you=singular/plural. kwa hivyo mwanafunzi/anayejifunza ana haki ya kuandika "mlizaliwa au ulizaliwa"

[iRunN6]

This is not fair because the question does not show it wants the plural you form. The singular and plural form sentences were the same except for the u/m verb difference.

What a tongue twister!

I think mlizaliwa is incorrect it should be ulizaliwa

[KathyKerns]

In a previous question, I replied "mwaka wa" in the answer and was told it was incorrect. This time I answered with "mwaka", without the "wa" and was told that this also is in correct. Which one is it? This is very confusing!
