Nimeulizwa swali na mwanangu, naomba jibu

[crome20]

Wana jamvi Amani iwe kwenu. Mtoto wangu wa darasa la sita aliniuliza swali mwaka mmoja uliopita mpaka sasa sijapata jibu, nakuja kwenu maana kanikumbushia ikabidi nimuombe samahani. Anauliza, ukitaka kumuuliza mwenzio " Wewe ni motto wa ngapi kuzaliwa" kwa Kiingereza unasemaje?

 

[Jalem]

[Jaluo_Nyeupe]

Which position are you in your family's sibling order?

I myself happen to be the first born, Kiranga by nature ni lazima awe wa kwanza kutaka kutoka!

Kiranga;
Hivi neno sibling huwa halina "s" ya kuashiria uwingi?

 

[crome20]

Ulikuwa na maana ya what number do you------- siyo?

The order is a sibling order, it list siblings. We talk about "sibling rivalry" not "siblings rivalry".

Ona huyu anaongelea "Sibling-order effects" na si "siblings-order effect"

I am not born of any number, whatever that means.

And most certainly I am not a number, thank you very much.

Wana jamvi Amani iwe kwenu. Mtoto wangu wa darasa la sita aliniuliza swali mwaka mmoja uliopita mpaka sasa sijapata jibu, nakuja kwenu maana kanikumbushia ikabidi nimuombe samahani. Anauliza, ukitaka kumuuliza mwenzio " Wewe ni motto wa ngapi kuzaliwa" kwa Kiingereza unasemaje?

Where do you rank among your brothers...kama angekuuliza BABA MIMI NI MTOTO WA NGAPI ? jibu ni WHERE DO I RANK AMONG UR CHILDREN

Ungemueleza hivi;

Lugha ni Utamaduni wa watu, na kila kundi la Watu lina Utamaduni wake, hivyo kuna mambo ambayo yanafanyika kwetu lkn hayafanyiki kwenye Tamaduni nyingine, vile vile kuna maneno ambayo yapo ktk Lugha yetu lkn hayapo kwenye Lugha nyingine na kinyume chake, hivyo Swali kama wewe ni mtoto wa ngapi kuzaliwa ni la Utamaduni wetu na Tamaduni nyingine halipo, au limepotea kwa kuwa wao hasa Wazungu(kiingereza) wanazaa watoto wachache hivyo watauuliza tu labda kama una dada au kaka na kama wewe ni mkubwa au mdogo, lkn swali wewe ni wa ngapi kuzaliwa halina maana sana, ila kwetu lina maana kwa sababu kila Mwanamke ana Watoto 5.2 nchini kwetu hivyo hilo swali lina maana!

First of all, when asking a question in english, the convention is to write "Are you....?" not "You are....?". You are is more of a statement than a question.

On top of that.

I am of no number.

I am of a stock of the Sukuma, I am of the freethinkers, I am of those who cut to the chase, I am of the kin of Jiganga Jilangisa, I am of Bafumo nolo Basumba Batale, I am of Babinha, I am of Mkuranga, Msanga-Kisiju, Nagurukulu, Utete, Tanga.

But I am of no number in my family.My family is made by people, not numbers.

Rephrase your question to communicate in a more meaningful way.

Nadhani yeye yuko sahihi kwa sababu ameunganisha maneno mawili kwa kutumia hyphen, yaani "sibling" na "order", akatenegenza neno moja ambalo "sibling-order", na si mawili tena. Huoni kwamba usipoyaunganisha, neno sibling inabidi lisomeke katika uwingi wake, yaani liwe siblings?

A native English speaker talks about a shoe rack, not about a shoes rack, the singular represent the plural. That is the logic of efficiency from the perspective of the English language.

We talk about the human race, not the humans race.

The way you are looking at this you would want us to talk about siblings order, shoes rack and humans race.

But see the examples you have given us. You can have orders, racks as well, but you can not have races. Do not you see that the race example does not perfectly fit in the case? If it does then the rack example issue should be irrelevant. Do not know if I'm correct or wrong!
