Which noun class do the Swahili words 'kabati', 'karai', 'dirisha', and 'tumbo' belong to?

Step 1: Identify the nouns in the question. The question lists the nouns: "kabati" (cupboard), "karai" (basin), "dirisha" (window), and "tumbo" (stomach). Step 2: Determine the noun class for each noun. In Swahili, nouns are grouped into classes based on their prefixes and how they agree with other words in a sentence. "Kabati" (cupboard): The plural is "makabati". This pattern (singular often without a specific prefix, plural with "ma-") is characteristic of the JI-MA noun class. "Karai" (basin): The plural is "makarai". This also fits the JI-MA noun class. "Dirisha" (window): The plural is "madirisha". This is a classic example of the JI-MA noun class. "Tumbo" (stomach): The plural is "matumbo". This also belongs to the JI-MA noun class. Step 3: Match the noun class to the given options. The JI-MA noun class is often referred to by its concordial agreements, which are "li-" for singular and "ya-" for plural. Therefore, the JI-MA class is also known as the LI-YA class. Step 4: Select the correct option. All the listed nouns belong to the JI-MA (LI-YA) noun class. The final answer is A That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
