I am going to market maana yake nakwenda sokoni, I am going to the market maana yake nakwenda kwenye soko fulani (specific). unaposema to the market maana yake unazungumzia soko hilohilo ambalo tayari liko kweny mjadala. nitakupa sentensi mbili za mfano

1. I always to go market when the prices drop. (hapa unazungumzia soko lolote)
2. Kariakoo is the biggest market in dar es salaam, I often got to the market for all my needs. (hiyo the inasimama badala ya hilo soko ambalo umeshalitaja yaani kariakoo)

I hope umesaidika kujieleza ni ngumu kidogo Aqua

Hiyo sentensi ya pili ina utata kwa sababu neno "market", mbali ya kuwa ni nomino/noun linaweza pia kubeba maana ya kitenzi/verb. Kwa hiyo, ukitoa hiyo sentensi ya pili (bila kuwa na muktadha), kuna uwezekano unayemwambia akakuuliza: "....to market what [product]?" ama "what [product] are you marketing?".

Dear SMU, Aqua ametaka kujua tofauti kati ya 'going to market' na 'going to the market' naona wewe ndio unataka kutoka nje ya muktadha wa swali lake la msingi.

Nadhani hujanielewa tu. Ni kweli yeye ametaka kujua tofauti ya sentensi hizo mbili kwa maana kuwa pengine anataka kuitumia mojawapo
ili kufikisha ujumbe anaoukusudia. Kwa hiyo, nilichofanya nimejaribu tu kuonesha kuwa endapo ataamua kutumia sentensi hiyo ya pili ni vema akawa makini kwa sababu inaweza kuwa na maana zaidi ya moja na hivyo ni vema kuzingatia muktadha. Tupo pamoja wakuu wangu Lukansola na Aqua .

Going to market=in this the word market has been used as a verb i.e going to a certain market to buy something
Going to the market=in this it means going to a specific market but not for the aim of buying something from that market,this statement may cause the other person to ask you.When you say "I am going to the market",you may be asked question like "To do what?".
Going to church=church has been used as a verb,this means going to a church,reason to pray
Going to the church=going to the church reason not to pray,say to see someone or meet someone.
I might not be good in explaining but that is it.
