Questions & Answers about Nitakujulisha baada ya kazi.

How is Nitakujulisha broken down?

It can be divided into these parts:

• ni- = I
• -ta- = future tense marker, will
• -ku- = you (object marker, singular)
• -julisha = inform / let know

So Nitakujulisha literally means I will inform you or I will let you know.

Why is you inside the verb instead of being a separate word?

In Swahili, object pronouns are often built directly into the verb.

So instead of saying something like I will inform you with a separate word for you, Swahili commonly uses:

• Ni-ta-ku-julisha
• I-will-you-inform

This is very normal in Swahili grammar. The object marker -ku- tells you who is being informed.
