Hausa 2023 Q12: ‘Marin shi aka yi yau da rana. Wakilin suna a wannan jimla shi ne

A wakilin suna is a pronoun. It stands in for a noun.

In “Marin shi aka yi yau da rana”, shi means “him/his” (third person, masculine, singular). It points to the owner of the ghee (“marin”).

“Da” (with, at) is a linking word, and “yau” (today) is a time word. Neither replaces a noun.
