Questions & Answers about Wateja walidai maelezo zaidi kuhusu bei ya usafiri.

How is the verb form walidai built, and why does it agree with wateja?

walidai = wa- (subject prefix for they/class 2) + -li- (past tense) + dai (verb root “demand/claim”). Because the subject wateja (customers) is class 2 (people, plural), the verb takes the class-2 subject prefix wa-.

Does kudai mean “demand” or “claim”? Could I use kuomba, kuuliza, or kutaka instead?

kudai covers both “to demand” and “to claim,” and it can sound firm or even confrontational depending on context.

• Softer options:
  • kuomba = to request (politer)
  • kuuliza = to ask (a question)
  • kutaka = to want/request (neutral) So, you might say:
• Wateja waliomba/waliuliza/walitaka maelezo zaidi… for less forceful tone.

Is maelezo singular or plural? Which adjectives agree with it?
