Mamba wangu ni wakubwa zaidi kuliko wako.

Mamba wangu ni wakubwa zaidi kuliko wako.
My crocodiles are bigger than yours.*
*How do we know that there are crocodileS and not just one for each of us? Wangu and Wake don't tell us anything about the number, but there is Wakubwa in the sentence which is definitely plural. Had we each only one crocodile it should be Mkubwa.
From Lesson 9:N/N class - Part one - Possessive Determiners·Swahili for Beginners
