Past Tense in Somali

Learn Somali Language Podcast ·

2024/02/05

The Somali language has just one past tense, however the English language has three: past tense (sang), present perfect (has sung), and past perfect (had sung). Verb conjugations exist. Simply add the word "ay" to the subject if it is He or I. For example, Isagu wuu arkay walaalkiis means he saw his brother. Anigu waxaan tagay suuqa - I went to the market. However, you would add the verb to "tay" if the subject is she or you, as in iyadu waxay tagtay suuqa, which means "she went to the market." ,

Waryaa and Naayaa

2023/12/12

The words "hey" are Waryaa and Naayaa. Though they all mean “hey” you should practice with caution in some situations. You don’t wanna say “naaya” to a Somali lady and get slapped 🤣. For some Somali women, the word "naaya" is offensive. Although it's quite normal in some parts of Somalia, particularly the north, it's somehow seen as belittling women. For men, waryaa is hey. Calling adults waryaa will come out as impolite and disrespectful, thus it's best to address teenagers as waryaa instead. Say
