10/10, used your hints, very curious quiz, it was a pleasure to take part in it!!!
I got just one wrong – very interesting quiz, Meshack. In fact it was a bit easy for me, because, the numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, ans well as 20, 39, 40 etc, are very similar to Arabic, which I know 🙂
Kiswahili borrowed many words from Arabic. It is good you know it and gained much.
An interesting and difficult quiz … with a little luck I had 5 correct ones
You could have referred from the explanation above. Thanks for trying.
It was a fun quiz and even though I had not much of an idea about anything I got 8 right.
8 is a good score for guesswork. At least you know something
That’s a fun quiz idea!
Thank you and am glad you attempted it
I missed two, this was very cool!
You can now be able at least count in kiswahili. ‘Heko’ means congratulations
You got 5 out of 10 right!
Not so bad
Halfway towards knowing how to count in kiswahili up to 100
Challenging game. Got 10. Thank you for sharing!
You are sooo good. 10 is a perfect score
Thank for the lesson, got 4 right!
You can now count in Kiswahili upto 100
well 40% of the way to 100!
Read through the instructions again and then try the quiz seriously. You will score 100
