Mtumaji anajifanya mwajiri ili mpokeaji afichue taarifa nyeti.

Yes:

Mtumaji = sender
anajifanya = pretends / is pretending
mwajiri = employer
ili = so that / in order that
mpokeaji = recipient / receiver
afichue = reveal / may reveal
taarifa nyeti = sensitive information

So the structure is basically: The sender pretends to be an employer so that the recipient reveals sensitive information.

Anajifanya comes from the verb -jifanya, which means to pretend.

It can be broken down like this:

• a- = he/she
• -na- = present tense
• -ji- = self
• -fanya = do / make

So literally, it is something like he/she makes himself/herself, but idiomatically it means he/she pretends.

In Swahili, after kujifanya meaning to pretend, you can often put the noun directly after it.

So:

anajifanya mwajiri = he/she pretends to be an employer

Swahili does not always need a separate to be in places where English does. That is very normal.

Ili introduces a purpose clause. Here it means:

• so that
• in order that

So the sender pretends for a purpose: ili mpokeaji afichue taarifa nyeti = so that the recipient reveals sensitive information.

It does not mean because.

Because ili is usually followed by the subjunctive.

The subjunctive is used for things that are intended, desired, or aimed at, rather than simple statements of fact.

Compare:

• anafichua = he/she reveals, is revealing
• afichue = that he/she reveal, so that he/she may reveal

After ili, Swahili normally uses this subjunctive form.

The base verb is kufichua = to reveal / to expose.

In the subjunctive, the final -a changes to -e:

• fichua → fichue

Then you add the subject marker:

• a- = he/she

So:

• afichue = that he/she reveal

Because mpokeaji is a singular human noun, and singular human nouns in Swahili usually take the class 1 agreement pattern.

For class 1 singular, the subject marker is a-.

So:

• mpokeaji = recipient
• a-fichue = he/she should reveal

Even though the noun itself starts with m-, the agreeing subject marker on the verb is a-.

All three are singular nouns referring to people, so they belong to the class 1 noun group.

That is why they pattern like other human singular nouns in agreement.

They are also all agent-type nouns:

• mtumaji = sender
• mwajiri = employer
• mpokeaji = recipient / receiver

Their plural forms would normally be in class 2, for example:

• watumaji = senders
• waajiri = employers
• wapokeaji = recipients

This is a very important vocabulary distinction:

• mwajiri = employer
• mwajiriwa = employee

In this sentence, the sender is pretending to be the employer, not the employee, so mwajiri is the correct word.

They come from verbs:

• -tuma = send
• -pokea = receive

Then Swahili forms person-nouns from them:

• mtumaji = the one who sends = sender
• mpokeaji = the one who receives = recipient / receiver

This is a very common way Swahili builds nouns for people who do an action.

Taarifa is a common Swahili word for information, report, or details, depending on context.

In this sentence, taarifa nyeti means sensitive information.

A useful thing to know is that taarifa often has the same form in both singular and plural, so context tells you whether it means information, a report, or reports.

Here it is best understood as information.

Swahili adjectives often agree with the noun class, but some adjectives have forms that do not visibly change much, or they appear the same in certain classes.

Here:

• taarifa = information
• nyeti = sensitive

So taarifa nyeti is the normal way to say sensitive information.

You do not need an article like the or a, because Swahili does not use articles the way English does.

Grammatically, anajifanya is in the present tense because of -na-.

But in Swahili, the present tense can also describe a general or typical situation, not only something happening at this exact moment.

So in this sentence, it can mean something like:

• the sender is pretending
• or the sender pretends

In context, it sounds like a general description of a scam tactic.
