The following examples from Swahili demonstrate class agreement with the noun, adjective and verb. The different classes of the nouns in Swahili dictate which prefix will also agree with the adjective and verb. It is not always the case in Bantu languages that the verb has noun agreement in the form of nominals, or in any form, but in Swahili it is a good representation of how these prefixes travel across the associated words. In the first Swahili example, the noun has the prefix "m-" because it is part of class 1 for human beings. The prefix "m-" then agrees with the adjective "m-dogo". The verb agreement is different simply because the verb agreement for class 1 is "a-" rather than "m-". The second example has the prefix "ki-" because the noun "basket" is part of class 7. Class 7 has the same prefix form for nouns, adjectives and verbs.
