"I took them from the farm"

Translation: Niliyachukua shambani

[melodiejoi1]

There are many things you can take from the farm.

[AGreatUserName]

Yep, that's why more than just -ya- should be accepted: also -wa-, -i-, -vi- and -zi-.

[vitoreiji]

Could one say toka shamba instead of shambani?

[Beth68160]

Yes, I agree with this question too. In Tanzania, when speaking, I would also be able to say toka shamba and it would be accepted.

[AndyCole9]

There are some food items in the JI-MA class, such as embe, chungwa etc, to which the -ya could refer, but I guess a lot of other farm produce is not in this class. Just thinking out loud really!

[gloucester5]

If 'kuchukua kutoka' is 'to take from' why is this (properly conjugated) not an accepted answer?
