Transitive Verbs Exercises For Swahili Grammar


Exercise 1: Complete the sentence with the correct Swahili transitive verb


Transitive verbs, also known as “nyenzo verbya” in Swahili, are a key part of the language’s grammar. These verbs transfer action from the subject to an object. For example, in the sentence “Mtu anapika chakula” (The person is cooking food), “anapika” is a transitive verb as it transfers action from the subject (“Mtu”) to the object (“chakula”). Understanding and correctly using transitive verbs are essential in gaining fluency in Swahili.
