Questions & Answers about Na yi canja wurin kuɗi ta manhaja.

What does na mean here?

Na is the 1st person singular subject marker in the completive/perfective form. In this sentence, it tells you the subject is I.

So:

• na = I (in a completed action frame)
• na yi = I did / I have done

Hausa often builds sentences this way instead of using a single verb exactly like English does.

Why does the sentence use yi?

Yi is a very common Hausa verb meaning do / make. Hausa often uses yi with a noun or verbal expression to describe an action.

So here:

• yi = do / make
• canja wurin kuɗi = money transfer

Together, na yi canja wurin kuɗi is literally close to I did a money transfer, but natural English would usually be I transferred money.

This is a normal Hausa pattern.

What tense does na yi show?

Na yi usually shows a completed action. Depending on context, it can be translated as:

• I transferred money
• I have transferred money

So it is best understood as completive/perfective, not as a strict one-to-one English tense.
