Sentensi ni mkusanyiko wa maneno unaoanza na herufi kubwa na kuisha na alama ya kushangaa, kuuliza, au nukta. Sentensi bora ni fupi, angavu, sahihi, yenye mantiki, na kamilifu.

I have written all the 406 pages of my book in Swahili words. Even the countries are in Swahili. Instead of 'Nigeria', for example, I have written 'Nijeria'. That is how it is written in the Swahili dictionary. This can seem as a minor detail and that people may find my mission close to ridiculous! However, single letters and commas matter.

Mwambie mtoto wako maneno mazuri anapokuwa ananyonya na kukuangalia machoni kwa kukukodolea. Maneno utakayomwambia ndiyo yatakayokuwa msingi wa mawazo yake, na ndiyo yatakayoumba maisha yake atakapokuwa mkubwa.

Words are the bricks of our world and they have the power to change it.
