'ama'

In Somali, the word for 'or' is 'ama'.


Joog ama tag  - Stay or go


Akhri ama dhimo - Read or die


Cun ama cab - Eat or drink


Guriga gal ama tag - Go inside the house or leave!


Hadal ama aamus - Talk or be quiet


 I Maqal ama tag!  - Listen to me or go!


Note: Remember the object pronoun 'me' in Somali is 'i'. 'Magal' means 'listen'. 'I maqal!' means 'listen to me!'
