KUDOGOWESHA
Nouns may take on a diminutive meaning by adding the prefixes ki-/vi– and ka-/tu- to the noun stem. The second pair suggests a greater degree of diminution. The tu– plural is rarely used. The rules for forming the diminutives follow the division of noun stems into:
| consonant stems (polysyllabic) | m-toto |
| vowel stems (polysyllabic) | ny-umba |
| monosyllabic stems | m-bwa |
| ki-stems | ki-tabu |
| ch-stems | ch-umba |
| Class 14 | u-baridi |
Examples:
| 1 m-toto | ki-toto | ka-toto |
| 2 ny-umba | ki-j-umba | ka-j-umba |
| 3 m-bwa | ki-ji-bwa | ka-ji-bwa |
| 4 ki-tabu | ki-ji-tabu | ka-ji-tabu |
| 5 ch-umba | ki-ch-umba | ka-ch-umba |
| 6 u-baridi | ki-u-baridi | ka-u-baridi |
Usages exist outside these categories, e.g. ki-m-radi, ‘little/negligible/silly little project’.
Translation depends on context, as the diminutive may express a small size or endearment, or both, or may be used to belittle.

KUKUBWISHA
Augmentatives convey the meaning of large size or derogation and disrespect. They are formed by adding the prefix ji-/ma– to the noun stem. Similar rules apply as for diminutives. Note the nouns that originally belong to Classes 5/6, i.e. those whose secondary use is augmentation.
Examples:
| 1 m-toto | ji-toto/ma-toto |
| 2 ny-umba | j-umba/ma-j-umba |
| 3 m-bwa | ji-bwa/ma-ji-bwa |
| 4 n-goma | goma/ma-goma |
| 5 ki-tabu | tabu/ma-tabu OR ji-tabu/ma-ji-tabu |
| 6 jambazi | ji-jambazi/ma-ji-jambazi |

“Sijui mavulana mengine yakoje! Kuna mvulana mmoja
nimekwishamjibu vikali kwamba simtaki. […] Lakini yeye
anajibu: ‘Aksante sana kwa barua yako: hiyo ni alama
ya mapenzi.’ (34)
