"kutolea" can be used in the sense of "offer something to someone." It can also be used in the opposite sense "to take something from someone." Here is a biblical passage (so of course it is a translation): Kwa imani Abeli alimtolea Mungu dhabihu iliyokuwa bora zaidi kuliko ile ya Kaini. : By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain
-toa 2 - verb :
<pre>1 publish, generate
2 pull out, remove
3 reduce, subtract
</pre>
The normal sense is "give out", "give off", "emit", "generate", "produce". You can think of it as basically like -pa except that it doesn't indicate who receives whatever is given.

Okay, the sentence I get on hover is I will give for you. Give what? the translation at the top of the discussion is grammatical, feels a bit foreign speakerish but it is OK, but I will give for you raises the hairs on the back of my neck. And I can't report the Correct solution as being wrong or unnatural.

For some reason I am not remembering why the -ku- is inserted into the sentence/word: Ni = I, ta = future, toa = to offer, tolea = to offer on behalf of.... but I don't see where "your" is, and why there is a -ku-.
