Ninkee? - Which man?
Ninkii baad dishey - The man you hit.
In Somali, we use 'which' a lot. To say 'which (noun)', you take the definite article of the noun you want to inflect, and change the ending to 'ee'. So, for example,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Person A:Waa ayo? (Who is it?) Person B: Waa aniga. (It's me.) Person A: Adigee? ( Who are you? lit: 'Which you?') | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jaamac: Shaqadii baan helay! - I got the job! Liban: Shaqadee? - What job? Jaamac : Shaqadii aan xaley kuu sheegeyey. - I job I was talking to you about yesterday. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
