"American technology is the best"

Translation: Teknolojia ya Marekani ni bora

[vitoreiji]

Could one use heri instead of bora here?

[BenMack8]

This statement is factually incorrect

[KP0S6M1a]

Why not ni heri

[Inyara4]

could someone explain when to use "heri" and when "bora"? thanks in advance!

[deactivated user]

I believe heri would mean "better" which begs the question "better than what", and bora would mean "excellent" but not necessarily the best. It seems to me best would require a phrase like nzuri kuliko zote or (possibly) nzuri sana zaidi (I have always found superlatives a bit difficult to express in Swahili, but perhaps there is an agreed upon way these days).
