Ajamiـوَ

FromProto-Bantu*-báa(to become). The original copula was-li, which survives in relative forms. The formni was a focus marker, whilesi appears to have been a general negative marker. In modern standard Swahili, these all came together into one paradigm.[1]

Verb

[edit]

-wa (infinitivekuwa)

  1. tobe
    Weweni nani?Whoare you?
    • 18th century, Abdallah bin Ali bin Nasir,Al-Inkishafi[7], stanza13:
      اَوُرَكِيْبُوُ جُوَنِمَاسِ ، كَكُلَ خَسَرَ اُخَسِرِيِ
      Aurakibuo juani-mwasi, kwa-kula khasara ukhasiriye.
      The one who rides it, know youare a rebel; you harm yourself.
  2. (in positive present) tobecome
    Inakuwa baridi.It isgetting cold.
  3. (auxiliary)dummy verb that takes tense marking while the main verb takes aspect marking
    nilikuwa ninaandikaIwas writing
  4. (with specified location)stem of-wapo,-wako, or-wamo
  5. (withna or a form thereof)stem of-wa na
Usage notes

The copula is often omitted in colloquial speech in the present tense, for example:

Note: This amalgamation of terms comes from a number of different academic papers focused on the unique varieties and languages spoken in the Yoruboid dialectal continuum which extends from eastern Togo to southern Nigeria. The terms for spoken varieties, now deemed dialects of Yorùbá in Nigeria (i.e. Southeast Yorùbá, Northwest Yorùbá, Central Yorùbá, and Northeast Yorùbá), have converged with those of Standard Yorùbá leading to the creation of what can be labeled Common Yorùbá (Funṣọ Akere, 1977). It can be assumed that the Standard Yorùbá term can also be used in most Nigerian varieties alongside native terms, especially amongst younger speakers. This does not apply to the other Nigerian Yoruboid languages of Ìṣẹkírì and Olùkùmi, nor the Èdè Languages of Benin and Togo.
