In Swahili grammar, countable nouns refer to items or entities that can be quantified or enumerated. They contrast with uncountable nouns, like water or sand, which cannot be itemized and quantified. Countable nouns in Swahili are subject to grammar rules particularly when it comes to plural formation. Generally, countable nouns can be singled out to express quantity, order or to differentiate an item from other co-existing items. It is thus essential that language learners understand how to correctly use countable nouns to facilitate effective communication.
