People pretend less than animals, at least when it comes to Swahili grammar. There are some people nouns in the N/N class. They also pretend to be M/Wa nouns like the animals, but unlike them they use the possessiv pronouns of the N/N class.
| M/Wa | N/N Sg | N/N Plural | |
|---|---|---|---|
| mbwa dog | wangu my dog(s) | - | - |
| kaka brother | - | yangu my brother | zangu my brothers |
| dada
sister | - | yangu my sister | zangu my sisters |
For all the rest they behave like the M/Wa class words, including the use of the possessive 'wa' (of) of the M/Wa class.
Let's have a look at these words:
| baba | father(s) |
| mama | mother(s) |
| kaka | brother(s) |
| dada | sister(s) |
| rafiki | friend(s) |
