About this listen

The associative -a is one of the most important, and most misunderstood, structures in Swahili. When it’s unclear, possession and relationships across noun classes can feel random, even for serious learners.

In this episode, I’m sharing a bonus lesson originally taught to learners who completed my Swahili Noun Class Master Course. This lesson explains what the associative -a does, why it matters, and how understanding it brings order and clarity to the language.
