"They didn't prepare lunch"

Translation: Hawakutayarisha chakula cha mchana

[Emiel781115]

Oke "Chamba" is a new word for me, is this just a simple word for chakula cha mchana?

[TomasBurba]

Today it went even further, the allegedly correct choice has the word "chamcha". Sounds more legit but still differs from what is displayed above this discussion.

[Angela53250]

I just looked up the word Chamcha and it means "anything" so the translation in the exercise is wrong. It should read: They didn't prepare anything.

[Biggi189466]

Why does it not accept: hawakuandaa chakula cha mchana?

[IndianaJBird]

Mlitayarisha does not habe the ku prefix.
Why does hawakutayarisha retain it?

[ElMeuNom]

Negative past always has ku. It basically replaces li for negative.

[JasperHol1]

The answer is not with the options

[melodiejoi1]

The word andaa can mean prepare as well.

[Iago446954]

Why not accepted Hawakutengeneza chakula...??

[hixibitsi]

That means 'they didn't make food"

[Bob519582]

Wrong!

[ArgusC]

If the above is the correct translation, then why does the exercise say "Hawakuandaa chamcha"? Both similar in meaning, but not the same. These should be in separate questions, not 2 different answers for one exercise.
