Recap & Key Takeaways:
Affixes (Viambishi) are essential components of Swahili grammar that modify word meaning and structure.
Swahili affixes can be classified into:
Prefixes – Attach to the beginning of words (
ni-
in
ninaandika
)
Infixes – Appear in the middle of words (
-na-
in
anakula
)
Suffixes – Attach to the end of words (
-ni
in
shuleni
)
Mastering affixes helps in verb conjugation, sentence formation, and clear communication.
Understanding affixes is crucial for learning Swahili tenses, pronouns, and word relationships.
