Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given information:

  • 'oka thi' means 'cold weather'
  • 'doja tu' means 'hot climate'
  • 'tu ni oka' means 'weather is hot'

The word 'oka' appears in:

  • 'oka thi' = 'cold weather'
  • 'tu ni oka' = 'weather is hot'

The common word in both English translations is 'weather'.

Therefore, oka = weather


The word 'tu' appears in:

  • 'doja tu' = 'hot climate'
  • 'tu ni oka' = 'weather is hot'

The common word in both English translations is 'hot'.

Therefore, tu = hot


From 'tu ni oka' = 'weather is hot':

tu=hottu = \text{hot}

oka=weatheroka = \text{weather}

ni=isni = \text{is}

Therefore, the word 'ni' means 'is'.

The correct answer is Option 3: ni
