Not jiitey or jiiday, that's pulling or dragging, but jiidhay, knocking over or hitting. As in babuur baa jiidhay.

No, you wouldnt put 'dee' at the end but at the front. Like 'waar dee ku mee?'

Cara.   

LOL. Run over, "gaari miyaa ku jiiray?"

 

Regarding fulay and the plural fulay, it's all about which syllable is stressed. In fulay, singular, the stress is on the second syllable. Fulay, plural/feminine, the stress is on the first syllable. That's why the ending is more rushed.

 

This is coming from a few sleepless nights in childhood trying to figure out how "inan" (young man) was different from "inan" (young woman).

Xiin, that's true, and that's why I asked. Occasionally when my mind has had it's fill of JTrees and JTables, I go back to my childhood and remember all those phrases I learned but never go to use very much. Like this one:

 

Dhariga ka soo rog. Anyone know what it means?

 

P.S. Cara, your Somali is immaculate. All you need is some gabayo to compete with Xiin.
