"They have stolen the books of the pupils"

Translation: Wameiba vitabu vya wanafunzi

[B_yAVowel]

Should "Wamepora" work?

[AGreatUserName]

No, the object of kupora is the place or sometimes the person from whom you are stealing, not the thing that you steal, which is the object of -iba.

Wamepora maktaba ya shule na kuiba vitabu vya wanafunzi.
= They have looted the school library and stolen the students' books.

The books were stolen by DL.

[Duduzile4]

Lol

[LeslieWedd]

DL is obcessed with stealing. I have been to Ethiopia, Nigeria and Mozambique and no one has stolen anything from me. I wish I could say that about the US. I am getting ready to go back to Africa as soon as I can. It is a beautiful and safe place.
