Ni jibu tafhadali

Nijibu (one word) means "answer me." i.e., I've asked you a question and I want you to respond. Tafadhali (from Arabic) means "please" but is little used in Swahili.

Nijibie means "answer for me," i.e., on my behalf. No tafadhali is needed as both nijibu and ujibe are in a polite form, but most Swahili-speakers would probably say naomba ujibu kwa niabu yangu (I beg you, or ask you, to answer for me) as a substitute for tafadhali.
