"How much are eggs?"

Translation: Mayai shilingi ngapi?

[vitoreiji]

Wasn't there supposed to be a ni before shilingi here?

[machieng]

yes, although in an informal setting it's not necessary, so that might be why that answer was given

[Foreverfreebird]

I really wish "shingapi" was accepted. I live in Tanzania and that is what I've been taught to say here.

[machieng]

that's likely just slang locals use. 'shingapi' is just a mashup of 'shilingi ngapi', but it's not an actual word
