Usages of ile
Kama ningekuwa na pesa zaidi, ningefungua akaunti ya pili katika benki ile.
If I had more money, I would open a second account in that bank.
Niliona ile meza nzuri sokoni jana.
I saw that nice table at the market yesterday.
Saluni ile inatoa huduma nzuri, na cherehani ya jirani inashona kwa haraka.
That salon offers good service, and the neighbor’s sewing machine sews quickly.
Kama unavyoweza kuona, bei hii ni nafuu kuliko ile ya jana.
As you can see, this price is cheaper than yesterday’s.
Sikupenda sketi nene, bali nilichagua ile nyembamba iliyo rahisi kutembea nayo.
I did not like the thick skirt, but I chose the narrow one that is easy to walk in.
