The following words are in Swahili, a language that adopted many English words. This language doesn’t like having 2 consonants following one another and words always end with a vowel even if it didn’t in the original word!
Here is an example: skirt > s-i-k-e-t-i. An « i » to separate the « s » and the « k », the sound « ir » is replaced by the « e » and a last « i » to finish the word with a vowel.
- bia
- coti
- picha
- shati
- tishati
- gitaa
- chipsi
Here are the answers:
bia > beer coti > coat
picha > picture
shati > shirt
tishati > tshirt
gitaa > guitare
chipsi > chips
