"Enter the first door!"

[willynam]

Would "kaingie mlango kwanza" work? If not, why not?

[machieng]

no, that translates to 'enter the door first'

The ordinal numbers, when referring to something, always start with -a (wa, ya, la, cha, vya, za etc.). Moja "one" and mbili "two" have the unique forms -a kwanza "first" and -a pili "second", but all the others are shown only by adding the -a before the normal number.

I was under the impression that ka- as a command would only come after normal commands. Is that not the case?
