Swahili, a vibrant and widely spoken language in East Africa, has a unique and systematic approach to pluralizing nouns. Unlike English, where pluralization typically involves adding an "s" or "es" to the end of a word, Swahili employs a set of noun classes that dictate specific prefixes for both singular and plural forms. Understanding these noun classes is crucial for mastering the language, as they affect not only nouns but also adjectives, pronouns, and verbs related to those nouns.

These exercises are designed to help you grasp the pluralization rules of Swahili nouns, focusing on the transformation of words from singular to plural across various noun classes.
