Noun + Adjective

An adjective is a word you use to describe a noun. In Somali it comes after the noun. For example,


Maalin wanaagsan - Good day (lit. 'day good')


Waddo weyn        - Big/wide road


Hilib weyn            - Large meat


Magaalo weyn      - Big town


Af weyn               - Big mouth('af' means both 'mouth' and 'language')


Af adag                 - Difficult language


Af Soomaali       - Somali language


Af Soomaali waa af adag - Somali is a difficult language
