'Haddadan' means 'just now; just a moment ago',
Haddadan baan trainka soo fulay - I've just got on the train
Haddadan baan ku arkay - I saw you just a moment ago
Haddadan telefoonka baa dhacayay - The phone was ringing just now
Haddadan albaabka la garaacayay - Someone was knocking at the door a moment ago (Lit: 'The door was being knocked')
Another useful phrase that is similar is 'mar dhoweyd'. However, 'haddadan' means 'just a few seconds/minutes ago' whereas 'mar dhoweyd' could mean a little longer than that.
