Nitakuletea kitabu chako baada ya darasa.

Nitakuletea can be broken down like this:

• ni- = I
• -ta- = will / future tense
• -ku- = you (object marker, singular)
• -let- = root from leta, meaning bring
• -e-...-a here is part of the applied form letea, which means bring to/for someone

So Nitakuletea means something like:

I will bring to you
or more naturally, I will bring you ...

This is because Swahili often changes the verb form when the action is done for or to someone.

• leta = bring
• letea = bring to / bring for

Since the sentence includes you as the person receiving the book, letea is the natural choice.

So:

• Nitaleta kitabu = I will bring a book
• Nitakuletea kitabu = I will bring you a book / I will bring the book to you

-ku- is the object marker for you (singular).

In Swahili, object pronouns are often placed inside the verb instead of being separate words.

So in Nitakuletea:

• ni- = I
• -ta- = will
• -ku- = you
• letea = bring to/for

This is different from English, where we usually say I will bring you... as separate words.

In Swahili, possessive words usually come after the noun.

So:

• kitabu chako = your book

Literally, it is closer to book your than your book, but in normal English we translate it as your book.

This word order is very common in Swahili:

• rafiki yangu = my friend
• nyumba yake = his/her house
• kitabu chako = your book

Because possessives in Swahili must agree with the noun class of the noun they describe.

Kitabu belongs to the ki-/vi- noun class, so the possessive form for your becomes chako.

Here is the pattern:

• -ako = the basic possessive idea your
• cha- = agreement for the noun class of kitabu
• chako = your, agreeing with kitabu

If the noun belonged to a different noun class, the form would change:

• mtoto wako = your child
• kitabu chako = your book
• nyumba yako = your house

Baada ya means after.

It is a common expression in Swahili:

• baada ya kazi = after work
• baada ya chakula = after food / after the meal
• baada ya darasa = after class

So in this sentence, baada ya darasa means after class.

It can mean class in the sense of a school class, lesson, or teaching session, depending on context.

So baada ya darasa could be understood as:

• after class
• after the lesson
• after the class session

In this sentence, after class is the most natural translation.

Swahili does not usually use articles like a, an, or the the way English does.

So kitabu chako can mean:

• your book
• the book of yours
• in context, simply your book

The exact English choice depends on the situation, but Swahili normally leaves articles out.

Yes, that is a good literal understanding.

A very close breakdown is:

• Nitakuletea = I will bring to you
• kitabu chako = your book

So the whole sentence is essentially:

I will bring your book to you after class.

In natural English, we might also say:

I’ll bring you your book after class.

Yes, some word order changes are possible, but the sentence you have is a very natural and standard order.

This sentence follows a common pattern:

Verb + object + time expression

• Nitakuletea = I will bring you
• kitabu chako = your book
• baada ya darasa = after class

So:

Nitakuletea kitabu chako baada ya darasa
is the most straightforward way to say it.

You may sometimes see other orders for emphasis, but learners should treat this version as the normal one.

Here, -ku- normally means you singular.

So the sentence is addressed to one person:

I will bring you your book after class.

If the speaker were talking to more than one person, Swahili would usually use a different object marker.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

Nee-ta-koo-leh-teh-ah kee-TAH-boo CHAH-koh bah-AH-dah yah dah-RAH-sah

A few helpful points:

• Swahili vowels are usually pronounced clearly and consistently.
• i sounds like ee
• a sounds like ah
• u sounds like oo
• Stress often falls near the second-to-last syllable.

So kitaBU? No — more like kiTAbu.
And darasa is daRAsa.

Yes, you could say that, but it is slightly less explicit about to whom the book is being brought.

• Nitaleta kitabu chako baada ya darasa = I will bring your book after class
• Nitakuletea kitabu chako baada ya darasa = I will bring you your book after class

The version with -ku- and letea clearly shows that the book is being brought to you / for you, so it is the better match for the full English idea.
