What is the meaning of Swahili word yeye?

"Yeye" in Swahili means "he" or "she" depending on the context. It's a pronoun used to refer to a singular person who has already been mentioned.

Here are some examples:

* Yeye ni mwalimu. (He/She is a teacher.)

* Nilimkutana na yeye jana. (I met him/her yesterday.)

* Yeye anafanya kazi nzuri. (He/She does good work.)

It's important to note that Swahili does not have a separate word for "him" and "her" in the nominative case (the subject of a verb), so "yeye" is used for both.
