Kesho asubuhi, nitampelekea bibi dawa.

A helpful learner breakdown is:

• ni- = I
• -ta- = future tense, will
• -m- = object marker for him/her
• -pelekea = take/bring to or take/bring for

So nitampelekea means something like I will bring/take it to him/her or I will bring/take for him/her, depending on context.

Because -m- is the object marker that refers to the person receiving the medicine: bibi.

In Swahili, it is very common to include an object marker in the verb when the object is:

• a person
• specific
• already known in the conversation

So the verb already says to her, and then bibi names who that her is.

This is a very common question.

• kupeleka = to take/bring
• kupelekea = to take/bring to someone or for someone

The extra -e-...-a pattern adds the idea of a recipient or beneficiary. This is often called the applicative form.

So:

• kupeleka dawa = to take/bring medicine
• kupelekea bibi dawa = to take/bring grandmother medicine / to take/bring medicine to grandmother

Because Swahili can build that meaning into the verb itself.

In English, you often need a separate word like to:

• I will bring medicine to grandmother

In Swahili, kupelekea already carries that to/for someone idea, so a separate to is not necessary here.

A more literal alternative with a separate word is also possible:

• Nitapeleka dawa kwa bibi.

That also means I will take/bring medicine to grandmother.

With verbs like give, bring, or take to, Swahili often puts the recipient before the thing being given or brought.

So this pattern is natural:

• verb
• recipient
• thing

Here:

• nitampelekea = I will bring to her
• bibi = grandmother
• dawa = medicine

So nitampelekea bibi dawa is a normal way to structure it.

Because the verb already includes the subject.

In nitampelekea, the ni- already means I. Swahili verbs usually pack the subject into the verb, so a separate pronoun is often unnecessary.

You could add mimi for emphasis:

• Mimi nitampelekea bibi dawa.

That would sound more like I will bring grandmother medicine.

Bibi most often means:

• grandmother
• old lady
• sometimes a respectful madam/lady, depending on context

In many learning examples, it is understood as grandmother, but the exact meaning depends on the situation.

It literally means:

• kesho = tomorrow
• asubuhi = morning

Together, Kesho asubuhi means tomorrow morning.

Swahili often uses time expressions directly, without adding a preposition like in or on.

It can depend on context.

Dawa often works like medicine in English: it can be a general mass noun, not always focused on countable singular vs. plural.

So it may mean:

• medicine
• the medicine
• some medicine
• sometimes even medicines, if the context makes that clear

Swahili often leaves that kind of detail to context.

It can be translated either way depending on the point of view.

English makes a strong distinction between:

• bring = movement toward the speaker or destination in focus
• take = movement away from the speaker

Swahili peleka and pelekea do not always match that distinction exactly. So in translation, you choose bring or take based on the situation.

Yes. That is a perfectly good alternative.

Compare:

• Nitampelekea bibi dawa.
• Nitapeleka dawa kwa bibi.

Both can mean I will take/bring medicine to grandmother.

The first version is more compact and uses:

• an object marker -m-
• the applicative form -pelekea

The second version expresses the recipient with kwa bibi instead. Both are useful, and learners should recognize both patterns.
