Reported speech

Muxuu yiri? - What did he say?


Wuxuu yiri "Wax baan ku tusayaa". - He said, "I'm going to show you something".


"Dalka Japan aad baan u jeclahay" buu yiri - He said "I really like Japan"


"Bariis cad aad baan u necebahay' bey tiri - She said "I really hate white rice"


When we want to say 'He said/She said', usually we use 'yiri', 'tiri' etc.


Waxaan iri - I said
Waxaad tiri - You said
Wuxuu yiri - He said
Waxay tiri - She said
Waxaanu niri - We said
Waxeynu niri - We said
Waxaad tiraahdeen - You said (pl)
Waxay yiraahdeen - They said
