Daktari aliniambia nifungue mdomo na nitoe ulimi ili aangalie koo langu.

aliniambia = a-li-ni-ambia

• a- = he/she
• -li- = past tense
• -ni- = me
• -ambia = tell

So aliniambia means he/she told me. Here, the subject is daktari, so the whole part means the doctor told me.

Because after kuambia (to tell someone to do something), Swahili normally uses the subjunctive.

So:

• nifungue = that I open / for me to open
• nitoe = that I stick out / for me to put out

In this sentence, the doctor is giving instructions, so the subjunctive is the natural form:

• aliniambia nifungue mdomo = he told me to open my mouth

This is one of the most common uses of the subjunctive in Swahili.

It comes from kufungua = to open.

The form is:

• ni- = I
• fungue = subjunctive form of fungua

So nifungue literally means that I open or let me open, but in context it means to open after told me.

Literally, kutoa often means to take out / remove / put out. But in this context, kutoa ulimi is the normal way to say stick out the tongue.

So here it does not mean removing the tongue from the body. It means:

• nitoe ulimi = stick out my tongue

This is a very natural medical-context expression.

Because in this situation, it is already obvious whose mouth and tongue are meant. Swahili often leaves out possessives when the meaning is clear from context.

So:

• nifungue mdomo = open my mouth
• nitoe ulimi = stick out my tongue

You could say mdomo wangu or ulimi wangu, but it is not necessary here. The sentence sounds natural without them.

ili means so that, in order that, or so that he/she could.

It introduces a purpose clause:

• ili aangalie koo langu = so that he/she could look at my throat

So the sequence is:

1. The doctor told me to open my mouth
2. and stick out my tongue
3. so that he/she could examine my throat

Because the subject marker a- (he/she) comes before a verb stem that already begins with a.

It comes from kuangalia = to look at / examine.

Subjunctive form:

• a-angalie

When written together, that becomes aangalie.

So:

• aangalie = that he/she look at / so that he/she may look at

The double a is normal here.

Because koo belongs to a noun class that uses the possessive agreement la- in the singular.

So:

• koo langu = my throat

This is a noun-class agreement issue. In Swahili, possessives must match the noun’s class, not just the meaning.

Compare:

• mdomo wangu = my mouth
• ulimi wangu = my tongue
• koo langu = my throat

So langu is correct with koo.

Because Swahili kuangalia can take a direct object more easily than English look at.

So Swahili says:

• aangalie koo langu

Literally, that is something like:

• examine/look at my throat

English usually needs at, but Swahili does not have to use an extra preposition here.

No. Daktari itself does not show gender.

Also, the verb prefix a- means he/she, so the sentence does not specify whether the doctor is a man or a woman.

So Daktari aliniambia... can mean either:

• The male doctor told me...
• The female doctor told me...

You only know from context.

Here koo means throat.

That is why the meaning is about examining inside the mouth area.

If you wanted to say neck, the usual word is shingo.

So:

• koo = throat
• shingo = neck

Yes, very normal.

The structure is:

• Daktari aliniambia = The doctor told me
• nifungue mdomo na nitoe ulimi = to open my mouth and stick out my tongue
• ili aangalie koo langu = so that he/she could look at my throat

So the sentence flows very naturally:

main clause → instructions → purpose clause

That is a common and natural pattern in Swahili.
