"Jina lake ni Juma."

Translation: His name is Juma.

[ToniMarch]

What can't it be "her name is Juma"?

[machieng]

Juma is typically a boy's name

[Fiyalka2]

But theoretically, there might be a place where Juma could be a girl's name, so "she" should be accepted as well.

[machieng]

Theoretically any name can be used for any gender. However, in this course, Juma is associated with male names, as is typical of Swahili-speaking countries of Africa

[NormanL75]

exactly what i was thinking. Jina lake ni Juma. i guess, it's just backwards, like when houd say, the house is red, but in a question youd say, is the house red. (bad explination, sorry. I'm just learning this myself! Good luck!

[DuyTnNguyn20]

His name is juma

[MelineAhoulou]

How am I supposed to know that Juma is a boy's name?

[machieng]

The hint says 'Juma (Male name)'

[Abdalla4so]

Her name is juma should be accepted

[Chublacka]

Also, they shouldn't put "her" as an option while placing a female animation next to the statement. It adds to the translation being offputting.

[Chublacka]

I dont like this because they have used Juma as an example for 'her' as well. Including when it's used with animations.

[Tikiiboda]

Guess the sex of names is 50/50

[LSifisoLan]

Help no sound to my lesson

[Robbadob]

Please be patient, the course contributors are working on it. Some sentences have audio, some do not, and this one doesn't as of 2019/04/02.
