Don't they teach the word 'most' in Tanzanian schools?

[NairobiWalker]

Mswahili anapokosea kidogo kuongea kizungu laonekana kosa kubwa lakini NINYI mnapokosea kiswahili mwaona kawaida,lo nyani haoni kundule

1. Mtanzania sio Mswahili. Mswahili ni Mswahili na Waswahili wapo Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, Msumbiji, Comoros na Seychelles.

2. Nikikosea Kiswahili nikosoe. Nawe ukikosolewa kubali kosa na urekebishe. Wacha povu.

 

[NairobiWalker]

Nonsense post.
When most (superlative) followed by "of" cease to be WHAT!!???
What about this sentence.... The Dar flyover is a longest of all in East and Central Afrika.

Mr Bricks and mortar engineer; you need to consult your faculty to get your elementary grammar right.

You're embarrassing yourself.

Absolutely bricks and mortar engineer.

Tatizo ni kwamba, umeanzisha thread based on bologna!
"Most modern SGR in Africa?" Who will write such an amateurish crap?
I have never seen an article with such words as "most modern in ..."
All you have to do is show us. Then probably we will shift the argument to the credibility of the article.
It's actually nonsense, for real, nonsense that you are trying to preach here...
Unamjua kuku kishingo?

Huy kuku ndiyo kitu uliyoandika ... it somehow resembles this "Naked neck chicken" I don't know why, but it reminds me of this type of chicken. I don't know why.

 

[MwendaOmo]

Kwanini lazima uanzie na "This is .....", unaweza ukaanzia sentensi na maneno mengine na kutumia "Most modern"
Mfano hapo chini.

Kwa hiyo, uchambuzi wako hapo juu ni pumba.



Kwanini uanzie sentensi na "This is ...? Yaani kila sentensi lazima utumie mwanzo huo? Kama mtoto wa darasa la kwanza?
Huu chini ni mfano wa sentensi bila kutumia neno "most".

Again!!! Why?
Some adjectives, like "pregnant', do not have a comparative/superlative form. You can't say she's more pregnant than the other. She's just Pregnant. You can use "time" to compare pregnancies eg. months, trimesters etc...
"Modern" is not the same as "pregnant" categorically. But most writers prefer not to use "modern" with space. Modern describes an era of civilization.
For example, Africa's most modern cities, or trains, railways etc...
Instead of saying most modern city in Africa.
Let's put it this way, "It won't lower your English grade, but it's just too amateurish"
Most modern train in Kenya? Nah!

Hehehehe... sawa. Jibambe

Ndo maanake.

Jibu Muafaka,

Mimi sijatamka Mtanzania nimekazia mswahili lakini kama umegundua kuwa Mtanzania ni mswahili pia ni vyema.

Hivi ni low IQ uko nayo ama ni kutoelewa unachopost wewe mwenyewe? Uzi unaongelea Watanzania, umekuja kuwatetea ukitumia neno NINYI kisha ukatumia neno MSWAHILI kuashiria anayekosolewa. Sisi akina nani? Muanzisha uzi ni Mkenya na Kenya pia Kiswahili kipo. Uzidhani kila mtu ni mjinga bradhee.

[Geza Ulole]

One thing I've noticed among Tanzanians is the lack of the word 'most' whenever they construct a sentence that requires it. For instance:-

"The modern airport in East Africa," instead of "The most modern airport in East Africa"

"The modern SGR in East Africa," instead of "The most modern SGR in East Africa".

At first I thought it was just on Jamii Forums but I recently met another Tanzanian who speaks exactly like that. So I ask, don't they teach the word 'most' in Tanzanian schools?

we r not people of ego!

 

[NairobiWalker]

we r not people of ego!

Speaking a language correctly is not ego. It's just good schooling and being eloquent.

 

[Ruge Opinion]

Tanzania English is special. If you dwell on grammar you will nuts. For example, 'faster' is comparative. It should be used with 'than'. In Tanzania that is not the case.

"He asked him to walk faster"
" Faster! She screamed"
These are examples of so many sentences that "than" is not a required preposition/conjunction.
