Sentence particles

Simple Somali sentences require certain particles to be used to show whether what is being sdaid is :

1) a statement   = waa

2) a question  =  ma

3) question = miyaa

All these particles can be fully conjugated / declined with the appropriate personal pronouns.

some examples

gurigu waa weyn yahay      the house is large

or

gurigu wuu weyn yahay (with conjugated personal pronouin for "he", since house is masculine).

shimbirtu waa quruxsan tahay

or

shimbirtu way quruxsann tahay  (way = she, because bird is feminine)
