I got a question about swahili personal possessives. Swahili is SVO Word order, and personal possessives take agreement With the posessed. Mtoto wangu, kisu changu, kuku zenu, etc.
But i thoght a bit, is it possible to be grammatical correct and write a sentence starting with a noun of a different class than the possessive who follow it, and put the possessed elsewhere in the sentence? Like "Kuku wako Mtoto alileta"? And start with indirect Object?
