What is Swahili morphology?

Answer 1

Linguists use the word "morphology" to mean the internal structure of words. For example, the word "words" can be analyzed morphologically as "word" plus the plural suffix -s.

Swahili and Bantu languages generally are famous for having a very rich morphology, with lots of prefixes and suffixes that add information to a word root.

For example, vimeanguka means "they have fallen": morphologically, it can be broken down into a root anguka "fall", with a plural prefix vi- and a past tense prefix an-.

Answer 2

Swahili morphology refers to the structure and formation of words in the Swahili language, including the way in which roots, prefixes, infixes, and suffixes are combined to create meaningful words. It also encompasses the patterns of word formation, such as noun classes, noun agreement, and verb conjugation, that are unique to Swahili.
