Beginner Question: Difference Between "Waan", "Waxaan", "Ayaan", "Miyaan" and "Baan"
Ahlan, I was just practicing and reading books/internet and have a problem with "Waan", "Waxaan", " "Miyaan", Ayaan" and "Baan" for the first person singular.
In english texts and online sources, they call these focus markers, pronoun helpers, or statement markers. They don't explain these all too well I feel. When trying to make sentences, I still don't know which to choose. With my guess, it seemed "ayaan" and "baan" were used when replying to someone and confirming or denying something, making something more stronger/in focus, but i am really struggling to see what is used where. I also thought "miyaan" is for questions, but I saw an example like "xagee ayaad ka timid?", and got more confused as it is not in the "miyaad" form.
What are the difference between the 5, and can you give an example in context for each?
Waad mahad santahay,
