Tukimaliza somo hili, tutaandika aya mbili zenye kisawe na kinyume cha maneno tuliyojifunza.

It can mean if we finish, when we finish, or once we finish, depending on context.

In this sentence, the most natural sense is when we finish this lesson or once we finish this lesson. Swahili -ki- often covers both time and condition, so the exact English wording depends on the situation.

It breaks down like this:

• tu- = we
• -ki- = if/when
• maliza = finish / complete

So tukimaliza literally means if/when we finish.

In Swahili, demonstratives like this and that usually come after the noun.

So:

• somo hili = this lesson
• not normally hili somo

Also, hili agrees with somo, which is a class 5 noun.

tutaandika means we will write.

It breaks down like this:

• tu- = we
• -ta- = future marker
• andika = write

So Swahili does not need a separate word like will. The future is built into the verb.

In Swahili, the noun normally comes before the number.

So:

• aya mbili = two paragraphs
• literally paragraphs two

That word order is very normal in Swahili.

Many Swahili nouns, especially in noun class 9/10, have the same form in the singular and plural.

So you can have:

• aya moja = one paragraph
• aya mbili = two paragraphs

The number word and the context tell you whether it is singular or plural.

zenye refers to aya mbili.

It means something like:

• that have
• containing
• with

So aya mbili zenye... means two paragraphs that have... or two paragraphs containing...

Because it has to agree with aya mbili, which is plural here.

The base idea is -enye, meaning having / with. The beginning changes to match the noun class.

So here:

• aya yenye... = a paragraph with...
• aya mbili zenye... = two paragraphs with...

They are singular nouns:

• kisawe = synonym
• kinyume = opposite / antonym

In a sentence like this, singular forms can be used in a general or category-like way, not just to mean exactly one item each.

If someone wanted to make the plurality more explicit, they could also use:

• visawe = synonyms
• vinyume = antonyms

Swahili often avoids repeating words if the meaning is already clear.

So the phrase is understood as:

• kisawe cha maneno tuliyojifunza
• na kinyume cha maneno tuliyojifunza

But instead of repeating cha maneno tuliyojifunza, the sentence gives it once at the end.

Also, cha is the correct linker for these singular class 7 nouns:

• kisawe cha...
• kinyume cha...

It means that we learned.

A simple breakdown is:

• tu- = we
• -li- = past tense
• -yo- = relative marker here, meaning that/which
• jifunza = learn

So:

• maneno tuliyojifunza = the words that we learned

Yes. That would also mean the words that we learned.

• maneno tuliyojifunza is a shorter, more compact relative construction
• maneno ambayo tulijifunza is more explicit

Both are understandable, but the shorter relative form is very common in Swahili.

It has two main parts:

1. Tukimaliza somo hili,
   = When we finish this lesson,

2. tutaandika aya mbili zenye kisawe na kinyume cha maneno tuliyojifunza.
   = we will write two paragraphs containing synonyms and antonyms of the words we learned.

So the sentence pattern is:

• time/condition clause first
• main action second

That is a very common Swahili sentence structure.
