"We Tanzanians don't like to eat dolphin"

Translation: Watanzania hatupendi kula pomboo

[marijkstee]

I would say that this means: the tanzanians ....., not we tanzanians. Why is it wrong to write "sissi watanzania...." ?

[machieng]

It should be 'sisi Watanzania'

[marijkstee]

Thank you!

"The Tanzanians don't like" would be Watanzania hawapendi ...

[Saskia777]

Since "Sisi Watanzania" is marked wrong: Is it really wrong? In order to put emphasis on the "we"-aspect ...

[rappatoni]

You quite often see "Mimi, ninapenda..." to stress the "I". In English Kenyans also like to use this construction: "Me, I like...". However, I don't know if this can also be used in the plural form.

[terrencewa20]

Yes, it applies in the plural form as well.

[RoseWambug1]

why is sisi marked wrong?

[terrencewa20]

"Sisi Watanzania hatupendi kula pomboo" is supposed to be the correct answer!

If the emphasis on 'sisi' is removed, then the subject-verb agreement is left open for 3rd person.

If you translate this, it would be 'Tanzanians don't like to eat dolphin' which is not the translation we're looking for.
