Umoja na Wingi (Singular and Plural Forms)

Singular and plural forms in Swahili are determined by noun classes rather than adding a suffix like in English. Different noun classes use specific prefixes for singular and plural, such as mtoto (child) → watoto (children) and kitabu (book) → vitabu (books). Understanding these patterns helps learners form correct noun agreements and improves sentence accuracy in Swahili.
