SARUFI: MNYAMBULIKO WA KUFANYIKA

The Stative form of the verb adds the meaning of possibility / potentiality, or passivity. Context determines which meaning applies.

fanya, do                  fanyika, be done; be doable, possible to do
soma, read                someka, be read; be readable, possible to read
nywa, drink               nyweka, be drunk; be drinkable, possible to drink
nunua, buy                nunulika, be bought; be possible to buy

NOTE that an -l- is often inserted between the two final vowels. However: toa, put out –> toka, get out, come out, ondoa, take away –> ondoka, go away.
sahau, forget sahaulika, be forgotten; be forgettable, possible to forget

Some verbs are most frequently used with the possibility/potentiality meaning:
pita, pass pitika, be passable, possible to pass
hesabu, count hesabika, be countable, possible to count

Other verbs tend to be used frequently with the passive meaning:
hitaji, to need               hitajika, be needed
taka, want                    takika, be wanted
haribu, destroy, ruin     haribika, be destroyed; ruined

EXAMPLES:

Kazi nyingi inafanyika hapa ofisini.   A lot of work gets done in this office.
Kazi hii itafanyika kwa urahisi.          This work/job can be done easily.
Kazi hii haifanyiki !                             This work/job is impossible (to do)!

Je, njia hii inapitika? Is this road passable?
Nyota hazihesabiki. Stars can’t be counted/are uncountable.

Watu wanne watahitajika . Four people will be needed.
Insha tano zinatakika katika darasa hii. Five essays are required in this class.

Stative: Kikombe kilivunjika. The cup broke/got broken/was broken.
Maisha yangu yameharibika . My life is ruined.
No agent is being implied in this type of passive, called the Stative.

The following is a Passive. An agent is usually implied:
Passive: Kikombe kilivunjwa na Issa. The cup was broken by Issa.
Maisha yangu yameharibiwa na Maria. My life was ruined by Maria.

The following verbs exist with the Reciprocal extension following the Causative one:

ona, see                                 onekana, appear, seem
pata, get                                patikana, be available
