"Mlima Kilimanjaro unaonekana"

Translation: Mount Kilimanjaro is visible

[3PnslvQT]

Why is it "una" instead on "ina"? Isn't una used to when talking to someone directly? Thanks

Ina is used with singular things in the N class (class 9). Mlima is in the singular m-mi class (class 3), so the prefix is u-

Why does it end with "na"? I read elsewhere that this is to indicate the verb is reflexive? Is this so?

Why is can be seen wrong?

[AGreatUserName]

It's not. It should be accepted.

[Spatterdock2]

Mt should be accepted in place of Mount

[Ernst557459]

Yes, just report it. Btw, in the early days of this course Duo only accepted Mountain Kilimanjaro :)

"Mount Kilimanjaro is able to be seen" not accepted.

[Spatterdock2]

Technically that is correct but it's an awkward use of English (from a native speaker). I would say Mt Kilimanjaro is visible, or Mt Kilimanjaro can be seen.
