Hii "well mannered accommodation services" inaweza kabisa kuwa Churchillian diction, although I doubt mtu anayeandika " we also runs well habitable" anaelewa Churchillian. I can understand " we have well mannered staff" lakini "well mannered accommodation services ?" that's a stretch, ina maana accommodation services zao zina manners ? I have seen well mannered dogs, well mannered children, well mannered women, but I have never seen well mannered services, like I said, this could be some extra posh Churchillian diction, but I doubt it.

Halafu katika proper english, ukitaka kusema ndani na nje unaweza kusema within and without, inside and outside au in and out of, huwezi kuandika "within and out of the university premises" utaonekana lugha haipandi. I know ukisema "without" unaweza kuwa interpreted kama unamaanisha "excluding" but that is the logic (or illogic, as Geroge Bernard Shaw, that useful idiot would have it, of some Dickensian twists )

I'm not gonna split hairs, I will cut them some slack.

The word student is redundant

We assist in facilitating contractual arrangements between students and residential facility owners.

Or if the emphasis is on assistance to students only

We assist students in facilitating contractual arrangements with residential facility owners

We also runs well habitable apartments with very executive rooms at affordable price

The infamous "runs" alongside "very executive rooms" and "affordable price" to top it off as the icing on the cake.

We encourage students to be responsible for their college life

We encourage students to be responsible for their dorm keys
We encourage students to be responsible for their budgets
We encourage students to be responsible for the management of their college life
We encourage students to be responsible in their college life
We encourage students to be responsible during their college life

The facilitation for the establishment of day care facilities for student mothers and nursing ones is underway.

Too many facilities can confuse a student mother, how about "day care programmes" to remove the possible confusion of the multiple facilitating facilities ?

Private people, everybody is a private person at some level, who are these private people ?

What exactly is "cleanliness of food dispensing" ? direct translation from swahili perhaps ?

We constantly review and update catering services for campus better life

What exactly is "campus better life"? another dilapidated sentense? writing in english but thinking in Swahili ?

Shouldn't it be" .... for a better campus life"?
 
 
So Nyambala,

Do you still think it is just a typo ?

Hiki ni Chuo Kikuu au Choo Kikuu ?
 
This is very helpful, sio tu kwa wanachuo but to all of us who are struggling with the language of the whiteman. Je kuna namna yoyote ile ya kumtumia huu ujumbe prof Mkandara? hoping that he cares, ama huyo head wa kitengo hicho nadhani itakua na office of the dean of Students. Lakini ndugu zangu haya ndio yanayotufanya tuwe hapa tulipo. Kila mtu duniani anajua hatujui kiingereza kibaya ni kwamba hawa wapumbavu waliopewa majukumu ya kuweza kubadilisha hiyo dhana, ni vipofu wakubwa kuliko. Na kubali ni CHOO KIKUU na sijui kama haya ndio ya Mlimani, hivyo vyuo vingine vinavyoshamiri kama uyoga vyenye wanafunzi wanaoomba kushiriki kampeni za CCM kukoje, maana hilo tu linatosha kukuonyesha ni quality gani ya wanafunzi waliojaa huko. SAD nakubaliana na kuwapongeza wenzetu waliokimbilia vyuo vya OBAMA, labda nyie mtatuuza huko hawa huku ni takataka, walimu wenyewe ukiwasikia utatamani kuwaomba wanyamaze,
 

sasa kipofu toka lini akamuongoza kipofu mwenzie??
nadhanisasa tunaona ni aina gani ya wasomi wanaozalishwa toka vyuo vikuu vyetu na athari/manufaa yake kwa taifa hili
 
Huo muda wa kurekebisha hayo utatokea wapi wakati maandalizi ya mr and mrs university + miss tanzania yapo karibuni.

Nice try,

Yale yale, kukosa umakini, paparapapara, macho juu juu, kutokubali makosa. Unasahihisha halafu unajikuta unachosahihisha hujakielewa na katika kusahihisha kwako unapotosha. Wale uliowaona wamepotosha katika kusahihisha wanakusahihisha kwamba katika kuwasahihisha kwako kusahihisha kwao unahitaji kusahihishwa.

Tofautisha "very executive houses" na "executive housing" I am aware of "executive housing" however "very executive houses" is not english, unless you mean to say that the house are in the habit of executing very much.

Halafu wenyewe wanaoijua hii lugha kiundani hata hiyo "executive houses" hawaitumii , wanatumia "executive homes"/ "executive housing". Kwa sababu a house is a building, a home is an environment, hata hiyo "executive house" bado una chance ya kuwa interpteted kwamba house inaji execute (kivipi sijui) lakini a home being an environment, is something else.This could also be advertising sublingo, but I wouldn't expect them to know that and "executive housing" would be fine with me, but " very executive houses" is a no-no.

Tatizo hapa partly ni kwamba, between english and Swahili, Swahili is the more logical language, na haina exceptions nyingi katika grammar and structure.Kwa mtu anayekulia katika kiswahili english mara nyingi inaleta matatizo kwa sababu ina exceptions karibu nusu ya lugha yote.

Nitafutie mfano kutoka any respectable source ya a native english speaking country walipoandika "very executive houses"

Mimi najua kuna "very posh houses" very presentable houses" lakini "very executive houses" ndiyo nazisikia leo.

Fanya hmework yako kwanza kabla ya kujionyesha kwamba wewe nawe ndio wale wale.

"executive" is an adjective, which can take the adverb "very."

Wote wanaongelea homes, "very executive homes" hamna "very executive houses" katika link yako, nishaelezea distinction ya a home and a house hapo juu.

Hawa ndugu zetu wa UDSM hawajaandika "very executive homes" wameandika "very executive houses".

Jaribu tena.

Comprehension yako ndogo, swali uliloulizwa jingine, jibu ulilotoa jingine.

Halafu unapoandika "real estate adds" ndiyo kabisaaa unanionyesha kwamba wewe na huyo muandishi wa UDSM hamchekani, na ndiyo maana unamtetea.

real estate adds na real estate ads ni vitu viwili tofauti.

Unaleta kiingereza cha kukariri hapa (adjective can take the adverb "very") unakwenda kupachika sehemu yoyote ile ? Lugha yenyewe half ni exceptions, ndiyo maana tunaboronga.

London, Canada and the US indeed, what is next? Some "Africa is a country" stunt ?

Wale wale !
