If we say. ‘Habeenkan bay keligeed joogtaa guri,’ the word guri minus the definite article means house or a house, and in Somali would mean, ‘This evening, she is alone in a house.’ In English too, we would need to add the definite article

Remember in Somali that the subject noun has to be focused with either ‘waa/waxa/ayaa/baa.’ For example, ‘Maalin maalmaha ka mid ah hooyadood waxay ku tidhii.’ Wax means ‘thing’ and ‘ay’ refers to the feminine noun. So, wax + ay = waxay

OK, so who interviewed Nuruddin Farah? We don’t know. But we know that he was interviewed. So let’s add the impersonal pronoun to our sentence

Waxaan daawaday waraysi lala yeeshay Nuuruddiin Faarax.

la + la = lala (la = preposition ‘with’ + la = impersonal pronoun)

When asking some one a question, begin with ‘Ma waxaad…’

‘waxaad’ should immediately follow the question marker ‘ma’
