"Mto ni mrefu"

Translation: A river is long

[Mrsaiz]

The pillow is long (?)

[Ninnoc12]

Is this different from saying: a long river?

[EricaHarve6]

I believe so because "ni" means "is" and acts as the verb to complete the sentenece. "A long river" is just a clause missing its verb.

How would I say "The river is deep"?

[Ernst557459]

I found this translation for 'deep rivers': mito yenye kina kirefu, which literary means 'rivers with tall depth' or 'rivers having a tall depth'. So, my guess is that 'the river is deep' then would be mto una kina kirefu.
