Questions & Answers about Mu saurari malami da kyau.
Mu is the 1st person plural pronoun, meaning we, but in this position it has a special function.
When Mu comes directly before a bare verb like this, it usually makes a "let’s ..." meaning, called the cohortative. So:
- Mu saurari malami da kyau.
→ Let’s listen to the teacher carefully / well.
If you wanted a simple statement we listen / we are listening, you would normally use something like:
- Muna sauraron malami da kyau.
→ We are listening to the teacher carefully.
So here, Mu is best understood as let’s (we), not just plain we.
saurari is a verb meaning to listen to / pay attention to (someone or something).
A few points:
It is transitive: it normally takes a direct object (what or whom you listen to).
- Mu saurari malami → Let’s listen to the teacher.
- Ka saurari rediyo. → Listen to the radio.
Dictionaries may give slightly different base forms like saurara, saurare, or list sauraro as the verbal noun, but for you as a learner, it’s safe to treat saurari as the common verb used with an object: saurari wani abu = listen to something.
