kuri

How to say it

Meaning

a locative connector meaning "at", "on", or "to" a place, thing, or point in time.

Good to know

a preposition, not a full verb, though it looks like one — it prefixes onto nouns (kuri meza, "on the table"; kuri uyu wa gatanu, "this coming Friday").

Examples

• Igitabo kiri kuri meza.The book is on the table.
• Uri kuri telefoni?Are you on the phone?
• Ntabwo iyi nzu iri kuri uyu muhanda.This house is not on this road.
• Tuzahura kuri uyu wa kabiri.We will meet on this coming Tuesday.
