How to say it

KirundinaryoNAH-ryoh
Englishit too, and it (iri nouns); as for it

Meaning

Stands for an iri noun already named, such as ijambo, ishure or ishengero, and adds it to what was said: 'it too', 'and it', or 'as for it'. It is na, and, joined to the pronoun ryo.

Good to know

It agrees with iri nouns only; other classes have their own forms, like nabo for people and narwo for uru nouns. It often follows the noun: izuba naryo, the sun too; naryo nyene, it too, itself.

Examples

  • Ishure ryacu naryo ryaronse ibitabo bishasha.Our school too received new books.
  • Izuba naryo rirakenewe ku biterwa.The sun too is needed by plants.
  • Ijambo ryiwe naryo ryashimishije abantu benshi.His speech too pleased many people.
