Question for Egyptians I have a friend who speaks Egyptian Arabic and she says that all Arabs can understand her easily because most Arab songs, shows, and movies are largely from Egypt. She says that she has a hard time understanding the Arabic they speak here in the Gulf. Do other Egyptians feel this way?

Not fluent in Somali, but I can get by

Although I am still seeking a Somali tutor to improve my fluency, I can provide a bit of information to the Somali side of the discussions.

 

Here is a break-down of some Somali conjugations:

 

I: Aniga

You: Adiga

He: Isaga

She: Iyada

We: Annaga

You (plural): Idinka

They: Iyaga

 

It can get pretty complicated beyond that because if you want to use the verb, "to be", you would have to conjugate not only the verb, but the pronoun that goes before it.

 

So let's do it then:

 

TO BE

I am: Aniga waxaan ahay

You are: Adiga waxaad tahay

He is: Isaga wuxuu yahay

She is: Iyada waxay tahay

We are: Annaga waxaan nahay

You (plural) are: Idinka waxaad tihiin

They are: Iyaga waxay yihiin

 

So, of course you'll have to add some nouns as they are not complete sentences. Most Somali speakers leave out the initial pronouns because the rest is conjugated according to its proper pronoun, so it's a bit redundant.

For example:

Waxaan ahay arday (I am a student)

Waxaad tahay wiil (You are a boy)

Wuxuu yahay macallin (He is a teacher)

Waxay tahay macallimad (She is a teacher)

........so on and so forth.......

 

There's a lot more conjugation involved, but I don't want to get in too deep right now. Those are the basics.
