Introductions: a recap

By now, you should be able to introduce yourself using basic Somali. For example,


My name is...    Magacaygu waa...
I come from....  .... baan ka imid
I am....             ..... baan ahay


Listen to this self introduction from a German man. (it starts at 0:44). Try to pick out the set phrases above. Also he uses

Waan tegay - I went

Waan ka tegay - I left (a place)(Note: remember 'ka' here means 'from')
Waan imid - I came (to a place)
