Questions & Answers about Wigo wa kazi uko wazi.
Wigo means scope, range, or extent.
In the phrase wigo wa kazi, it refers to the scope of work—the limits, coverage, or defined area of the work being discussed.
Wa is the connective word that often corresponds to of in English.
So:
- wigo wa kazi = scope of work
A useful thing to remember is that this connector agrees with the first noun (wigo), not the second one (kazi).
Swahili normally puts the main noun first and then adds the of phrase after it, so wigo wa kazi is the natural order.
Wigo behaves like a class 11 noun.
That matters because noun class controls agreement in Swahili. In this sentence, it affects:
- the connector: wa
- the predicate form: u- in uko
So the grammar of the sentence is built around the noun class of wigo, not around natural gender the way English sometimes works.
