"You will be alone"

Translation: Utakuwa peke yako

[AhmedBossm]

Why cant i say utakuwa pekee

[machieng]

'pekee' means 'only'; 'peke yake' can mean either 'only' or 'alone'/'separated from others' (there's also '-a kipekee' which means 'one of a kind'/'special')

• Ninataka ndizi pekee - I only want a banana/bananas
• Ninataka ndizi peke yake - I only want a banana/bananas
• Ndizi mbichi ziliwekwa kikapuni ilhali zilizoiva ziliwekwa peke yao - Unripe bananas were put in the basket while the ripe ones were stored on their own
• Hii ni zawadi ya kipekee - this is a one of a kind gift
