Questions & Answers about Anuani ya uwasilishaji ina postikodi.

Why is it ya uwasilishaji and not wa uwasilishaji?

Because ya has to agree with anuani.

In Swahili, words like of are often expressed with a connector that changes form to match the noun class of the first noun. Here:

• anuani = address
• ya = of for this noun class
• uwasilishaji = delivery / sending / submission

So anuani ya uwasilishaji means address of delivery, or more naturally, delivery address.

You cannot use wa here because wa agrees with a different noun class. Since anuani belongs to the N-class here, the correct connector is ya.

Why does the sentence use ina for has?
