Questions & Answers about Kamfanin yana da sabis daban-daban.
Why does kamfani become kamfanin here?
Kamfani is the basic form meaning company. In this sentence, kamfanin is a more specific form, so learners usually understand it as the company. Hausa does not use a separate word exactly like English the, so forms like -n often help show that a noun is specific or identified.
Why is yana da used to mean has?
In Hausa, possession is commonly expressed with a subject marker plus da. So yana da is the normal way to say it has for a masculine singular subject.
A very literal way to feel it is:
yana da = it is with / it has
But in natural English, you should just translate it as has.
Why is it yana and not tana or suna?
