Kesho asubuhi, tutaenda kliniki ya uzazi pamoja na mama.

Because tutaenda breaks down into these parts:

• tu- = we
• -ta- = future tense marker, meaning will
• -enda = go

So tutaenda literally means we-will-go.

This is a very common Swahili verb pattern:

• nitaenda = I will go
• utaenda = you will go
• ataenda = he/she will go
• tutaenda = we will go
• mtaenda = you all will go
• wataenda = they will go

Swahili often expresses time by combining separate words:

• kesho = tomorrow
• asubuhi = morning

So kesho asubuhi literally means tomorrow, morning, or more naturally in English, tomorrow morning.

This kind of combination is very normal in Swahili. Time expressions are often built from simple words placed together.

Yes, but Swahili is somewhat flexible with time expressions.

Starting with Kesho asubuhi puts the time first, like:

• Tomorrow morning, we will go...

This is very natural in Swahili. You could also hear the time expression later in the sentence in some contexts, but putting it first is common when you want to set the scene clearly.

Literally, it means something like:

• kliniki = clinic
• ya = of
• uzazi = childbirth, reproduction, maternity-related matters

So kliniki ya uzazi is literally clinic of maternity/childbirth, which is naturally understood as maternity clinic or reproductive health clinic, depending on context.

ya is a linking word that often works like of in English.

So:

• kliniki ya uzazi = clinic of maternity/childbirth

This linking word must agree with the noun before it. Since kliniki belongs to a noun class that takes ya in this structure, ya is the correct connector here.

You will see this pattern a lot:

• kitabu cha mwanafunzi = the student’s book / book of the student
• nyumba ya mama = mother’s house / house of mother
• chakula cha mtoto = the child’s food

Uzazi comes from the idea of giving birth, reproduction, or childbearing.

Depending on context, it can relate to:

• childbirth
• maternity
• reproductive health
• fertility

So in kliniki ya uzazi, it refers to a clinic connected with pregnancy, childbirth, or reproductive care.

Pamoja na is a very common way to say with in the sense of together with.

So:

• pamoja na mama = together with mother / with mom

It emphasizes accompaniment more clearly than just a simple with in English.

Examples:

• Ninakuja pamoja na rafiki yangu. = I am coming with my friend.
• Walisafiri pamoja na watoto wao. = They traveled with their children.

Sometimes na by itself can mean and or with, depending on context. But pamoja na is clearer when you mean together with someone.

So:

• pamoja na mama = definitely together with mother
• na mama could sometimes sound shorter or less explicit, and in some contexts it may be interpreted differently depending on the sentence

In this sentence, pamoja na mama is a natural way to make the companionship very clear.

Not always.

Mama can mean:

• mother
• mom
• a woman addressed respectfully
• sometimes a female caregiver or older woman, depending on context

In this sentence, mama most likely means mother/mom, but Swahili often leaves possession understood from context. So mama can mean mother without saying my mother explicitly.

If someone wanted to be very explicit, they might say:

• mama yangu = my mother

Swahili does not have articles like the and a/an in the same way English does.

So:

• kliniki can mean a clinic or the clinic
• context tells you which meaning is intended

In this sentence, English may translate it as the maternity clinic or a maternity clinic, depending on the situation, but Swahili does not need a separate word for that.

Because the subject is already built into the verb.

In tutaenda:

• tu- already means we

So adding sisi is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis.

Compare:

• Tutaenda kliniki. = We will go to the clinic.
• Sisi tutaenda kliniki. = We will go to the clinic. / As for us, we will go to the clinic.

The second version sounds more emphatic.

With many place nouns, Swahili does not need a separate word for to the way English does.

So:

• tutaenda kliniki = we will go to the clinic

The motion is already understood from -enda (go) plus the destination noun.

In some other contexts, Swahili may use location markers, but with many destination nouns, especially common place names or borrowed place words like kliniki, this direct structure is normal.

It is a borrowed word, ultimately from clinic.

Swahili has many borrowed words, especially for modern institutions, medicine, technology, and administration. Even though kliniki is borrowed, it behaves like a normal Swahili noun in sentences.

Yes. Asubuhi usually means morning, but in greetings and everyday use it can refer more broadly to the early part of the day.

For example:

• Habari za asubuhi? = Good morning / How is your morning?

In this sentence, though, it straightforwardly means morning.

It sounds like normal, natural everyday Swahili.

Nothing in it is unusually literary or overly formal. Words like kesho, asubuhi, tutaenda, pamoja na, and mama are very common. The only slightly specialized part is kliniki ya uzazi, because it refers to a specific kind of clinic, but it is still perfectly ordinary language.
