Indefinite Article Exercises For Swahili Grammar


Exercise 1: Fill in the blank with the correct form of ‘-chache’ or ‘-ngapi’


In the Swahili language, the Indefinite Article functions differently than in English. Swahili does not have a straight equivalent to the English ‘a’ or ‘an’. But concepts related to it are expressed through noun class and number. However, to indicate ‘some’ or ‘any’, Swahili uses ‘-chache’ for ‘few’ and ‘-ngapi’ for ‘how many’. These exercises are designed to help you practice those concepts in a sentence context.
