Tutaleta reki na mifuko ya taka leo.

It has three parts:

• tu- = we
• -ta- = future marker, like will
• leta = bring

So tutaleta literally works like we-will-bring.

No. In Swahili, the subject is usually built into the verb, so tu- already means we.

You can say Sisi tutaleta..., but that adds emphasis, like we will bring... rather than just a neutral statement.

ku- is the infinitive marker, so kuleta means to bring.

When the verb is conjugated, Swahili usually drops ku- and keeps the verb stem:

• kuleta = to bring
• tutaleta = we will bring

Here na means and, joining two things:

• reki
• mifuko ya taka

In other sentences, na can also mean with, so learners often notice it has more than one use.

Because mifuko is the plural of mfuko.

This noun belongs to the m-/mi- noun class:

• mfuko = one bag/sack
• mifuko = bags/sacks

So the sentence is talking about more than one bag.

This is the associative pattern, often similar to of in English.

The basic pattern is:

• noun + agreeing form of -a
  • another noun

Here the head noun is mifuko, and because mifuko is in the mi- plural class, the connector becomes ya.

So:

• mifuko ya taka = literally bags of trash/waste

Depending on context, this can also be understood as trash bags or garbage bags, not only bags that already contain trash.

No. It just happens to look the same.

In this sentence, taka is a noun meaning trash/waste/garbage.

The verb to want is also based on -taka, but that is a different word. Context tells you which one is meant.

Swahili normally does not use articles like English a and the.

So a noun like reki can mean:

• a rake
• the rake

The exact meaning depends on context. If you need to be more specific, Swahili often uses demonstratives such as this or that instead.

Yes, it could come earlier.

Putting leo at the end is very natural in Swahili:

• Tutaleta reki na mifuko ya taka leo.

But you can also move it for emphasis:

• Leo tutaleta reki na mifuko ya taka.

Both are fine. The version with leo first puts more focus on today.

Yes. Reki is a loanword, ultimately from English rake.

That is common in Swahili, especially for tools, technology, and modern objects. Many borrowed nouns behave like class 9/10 nouns, which often means the singular and plural look the same in form.

For example, you may see agreement like:

• hii reki = this rake
• hizi reki = these rakes
