"The books which they read have nice pictures"

Translation: Vitabu ambavyo wanasoma vina picha nzuri

[Ernst557459]

The English sentence could be either present of past tense. Therefore "Vitabu ambavyo walisoma vina picha nzuri" should also be accepted. Reported March '19

no pun intended

I agree & that's exactly how I interpreted it myself. I'm beginning to think we the students are smarter than some of the teachers/moderators working for Duolingo!

Is it correct to say wanavyovisoma instead of ambavyo wanasoma?

[AGreatUserName]

Yes!

Yes, I reported it today Aug 21 2019

[DeLogosarda]

Would it be correct to say?:
Vitabu walivisoma vina picha nzuri.

[machieng]

no, because '-li-' is the past tense infix. Also, the 'ambavyo' translates to 'which/that...'; another way to say it is 'Vitabu wanavyosoma vina picha nzuri'

past tense of that is 'Vitabu walivyosoma vina picha nzuri'

[Katie105911]

I said "walivyosoma" and it was marked wrong

[machieng]

fixed!
