  • Stop saying "nilisoma" when you mean "nilimsomea" 🤯
    Jul 3 2025

    Stop saying "nilisoma" when you mean "nilimsomea" 🤯

    The difference? One sounds like a textbook... the other sounds like you've been speaking Swahili your whole life.

    Here's what most learners miss:

    ❌ "Nilisoma" = I read (basic, flat, robotic)

    ✅ "Nilimsomea" = I read FOR HER (personal, meaningful, natural)

    These 4 little endings (-ia/-ea/-lia/-lea) are the SECRET to sounding like a native speaker:

    • "Alimnunulia" = He bought FOR HER

    • "Tunawaandikia" = We write TO THEM

    When you master these extensions, Swahili speakers will literally stop and ask "Wait, where did you learn that?" 🔥
