Description
Swahili word formation involves prefixes, suffixes, compounding, and borrowing from other languages. Prefixes and suffixes modify root words to create new meanings, such as mwalimu (teacher) from -alimu (education). Compound words combine two or more words, like barabarani (on the road). Borrowed words from Arabic, English, and other languages enrich Swahili vocabulary. Understanding these processes enhances vocabulary expansion and sentence construction in Swahili.
