Meaning

Asks about the way or manner of something: bigenda gute?, how does it work? It follows the verb, or opens the question as ni gute.

Good to know

It never changes. After some verbs the form is ute: umeze ute?, how are you? Gute also ends a phrase like nabi gute, however badly.

Examples

  • Ni gute wageze hano?How did you get here?
  • Iri jambo rivugwa gute?How is this word pronounced?
  • Nzabigenza gute ngo ntsinde ikizamini?How will I manage to pass the exam?
