Adaa mudan - You're welcome

In Somali, the word for 'Thanks' is 'Mahadsanid'. You can also say, 'Waad mahadsantahay'. If someone thanks you, and you want to say 'You're welcome', the most common phrase is 'Adaa mudan'. This literally means 'You deserve it/ You are deserving (of it)'.


Person A: Aad baad u mahadsantahay, walaal - Thanks so much 
Person B : Adaa mudan - You're welcome/Don't mention it


This is a very nice polite phrase, please use it.
