Questions & Answers about Taka zisizooza na taka za kielektroniki ziko hapa.

What does taka mean, and why doesn’t its form change?

Taka means waste, trash, refuse.

It belongs to the Swahili 9/10 noun class, where many nouns have the same form in singular and plural. So the noun itself may stay taka, while other words around it show the agreement.

In this sentence, the agreement is class 10 plural, which you can see in:

• zisizooza
• za kielektroniki
• ziko hapa

So even though taka itself does not change, the grammar around it shows how it is being treated.

What does zisizooza mean exactly?

Zisizooza means that do not decompose / that do not rot.

In natural English, this is often translated as:

• non-biodegradable
• non-decomposing waste

So taka zisizooza is non-biodegradable waste.
