I just realised that I'm learning big scientific words like this but still haven't learnt the Swahili words for Yes or No! LOL
It's in the imperative form, which is just the verb stem without any inflection
This sucks. I'm missing context here. Why do we need to lear this word? How is it used? I have no idea and the dictionary hint is not accepted as a proper translation.
What I get from here is to differentiate between the noun "sayansi" (science) and the adjective/adverb "kisayansi" (scientific/scientifically). From that, I get that "kisayasi" must be affecting the verb "tofautisha" here.
Since "tofautisha" means compare/differentiate, the sentence must be a. Compare (these things) scientifically!, or b. Differentiate (these things) scientifically
(Which is what I'm now trying to do with the possible answers.) I think it is a functioning example. For me, the answer is also respresented in the dictionary hints.
Kutofautsiha: to contrast, to distinguish, to make a distinction.
