Usages of jibu
Wanafunzi wengine walipendekeza tufanye kikao cha maswali na majibu, ili kila mtu asikose uelewa.
Other students suggested that we hold a question and answer session, so that nobody misses understanding.
Mwalimu anataka jibu.
The teacher wants an answer.
Mimi ninapenda kutafuta jibu.
I like to search for an answer.
Jibu lako ni sahihi.
Your answer is correct.
Afadhali usome taratibu kuliko kuharakisha majibu.
It’s better to read slowly than to rush the answers.
Leo tutafanya mazoezi mafupi ya kusikiliza, kisha tutaandika majibu kwa sentensi fupi.
Today we will do short listening exercises, then we will write the answers in short sentences.
Mwalimu msaidizi anamsaidia mtoto anapokosa jibu darasani.
The assistant teacher helps the child when he/she misses the answer in class.
Jibu sahihi litaonyeshwa kwenye ubao baada ya mjadala.
The correct answer will be shown on the board after the discussion.
Ninyi msinong’one darasani, andikeni majibu yenu kwenye daftari la mazoezi.
You (all) don’t whisper in class, write your answers in the exercise book.
Mwalimu alisema tutakapomaliza mtihani, majibu yataonyeshwa ukutani kwa kila darasa.
The teacher said that when we finish the exam, the answers will be shown on the wall for each class.
Majibu yote yatasomwa na mwalimu mkuu wakati wa mkutano wa mwisho.
All the answers will be read by the headteacher during the final meeting.
Test yourself: What does jibu mean?
