Swahili 1 Quiz 2 Term 2

The correct answer is "Usivute sigara". This is the most acceptable Swahili translation for "No smoking". "Usivute" translates to "do not smoke" and "sigara" translates to "cigarette". Therefore, "Usivute sigara" accurately conveys the message of "No smoking" in Swahili.

The correct answer is "Ninajipikia wali." In Swahili, "Ninajipikia" means "I cook for myself" and "wali" means "rice." Therefore, the phrase "Ninajipikia wali" translates to "I cook myself rice."

The correct answer is "Watoto na mbwa lazima wabebwe". This translation accurately conveys the meaning of the original statement, which states that babies and dogs must be carried. The word "lazima" means "must" or "have to" in Swahili, emphasizing the necessity of carrying the babies and dogs. The verb "wabebwe" means "to be carried" in the plural form, matching the subjects "watoto" (babies) and "mbwa" (dogs).

In this question, we are given the Swahili words "Kipande" which means "piece" and "ncha kali" which means "sharp edge." We are asked to choose the appropriate word from the given options to complete the sentence. The correct answer is "Chenye" because it means "which/that has" in Swahili, and it fits grammatically in the sentence. Therefore, "Kipande chenye ncha kali" translates to "A piece that has a sharp edge."

The correct answer is "Niliona matunda mengi sokoni." This is because "Niliona" means "I saw," "matunda" means "fruits," "mengi" means "many," and "sokoni" means "at the market." Therefore, the sentence translates to "I saw many fruits at the market" in English.

The original sentence "Niliimba wimbo mzuri jana" translates to "I sang a beautiful song yesterday". The negation of this sentence would be "I did not sing a beautiful song yesterday", which is represented by the option "Sikuimba wimbo mzuri jana".

The correct answer is "Nipigie (tafadhali)". This is because "Nipigie" in Swahili means "Call me" and "tafadhali" means "please". So, "Nipigie (tafadhali)" translates to "Call me, please" which is the equivalent of "Call me, please" in English.

The correct answer, "Panya alifukuzwa na paka," translates to "The mouse was chased by the cat" in Swahili. This sentence structure indicates that the action of chasing was done by the cat (paka) towards the mouse (panya).

The correct answer is "Wake" because it agrees with the noun "mkoba" (bag) which is in the singular form and also matches the possessive pronoun for the third person singular feminine, which is "hers" in English.

In Swahili, the word "ni" means "are" or "is" and "magari" means "cars". The correct answer pair is "Yale - yao" because "Yale" is the plural form of "that" and "yao" is the possessive form of "their". Therefore, the correct sentence would be "Yale ni magari yao" which translates to "Those are their cars".

The correct answer is "Nyumba nyengine". In Swahili, "nyumba" means "house" and "nyengine" means "another". Therefore, "Nyumba nyengine" translates to "another house" in English.

The correct answer is "Lenye". In Swahili, "Lenye" is used to indicate possession or belonging. In this context, it is used to show that the mansion has glass windows.

The appropriate negative form of "Nikusaidie?" (Can I help you?) is "Usinisaidie." This is because the prefix "Usi-" is used to form the negative imperative form, and "nisaidie" is the verb stem meaning "help me." Therefore, "Usinisaidie" translates to "Don't help me."

The correct answer is "Paka yupo kati kati ya simba na mbwa." This is the correct translation of "The cat is between the lion and dog." The phrase "kati kati" means "between" in Swahili, indicating that the cat is positioned in the middle or in between the lion and the dog.

The correct demonstrative reference for "That is my Chair" would be "Hicho" because it refers to something that is further away from both the speaker and the listener.

The correct answer is "Yamo ---- ndani ya." This is because "ndani ya" means "inside of" in Swahili, and it is the most appropriate phrase to complete the sentence. The sentence is saying "Fruits are inside of the basket," so "ndani ya" accurately expresses this idea.

The correct answer is "Upo." This is because the word "upo" in Swahili means "is" or "exists." Therefore, the sentence "Mnara wa Eiffel upo Paris" translates to "The Eiffel Tower is in Paris."

The correct answer is "Kijana nilimwonaye." This form is not correct because it does not follow the correct structure for relative clauses. In Swahili, the correct structure for a relative clause is "ambaye" followed by the verb. Therefore, the correct form should be "Kijana ambaye nilimwona."

Both "wao" and "nyinyi" are plural pronouns in Swahili. In Swahili, the object marker for plural pronouns is "-wa-". Therefore, both "wao" and "nyinyi" take the "-wa-" object marker.

The correct answer is "Kanisa liko pembeni ya Hospitali" which translates to "The church is beside the Hospital". This is the most accurate translation as "pembeni" means "beside" or "next to" in Swahili. The other options do not accurately convey the same meaning.

The correct answer is "-ku-". In Swahili, "-ku-" is used as the object marker for the second person singular pronoun "you" (wewe). It is added to the verb to indicate that the action is being done to or for the person being referred to.

The correct answer states that the past perfect can only be used with the -amba relative form. This means that when using the past perfect tense in Swahili, it is necessary to use the -amba relative form to indicate the completion of an action before another action in the past. It cannot be used with the relative infix or suffix.

The correct answer is "Wamo". In Swahili, "wamo" is used to indicate the presence or existence of people or things in a particular location. In this context, it suggests that the students are present in the classroom.

The correct answer is "Iko". In Swahili, "Iko" means "is" or "exists". Therefore, the correct phrase would be "London iko Uingereza", which translates to "London is in England".

The correct answer is "Relative suffix can be used with past tense –li-". This statement is not correct because relative suffix is not used with past tense -li- in Swahili. Relative suffix is used with the present tense -na-, while the past tense -li- is used with relative infix.
