The verb 'joog' means 'stop' or 'to be'(in a place). We use the present habitual form to talk about habits,
Waan tagaa shaneemada - I go to the cinema
Sideeddii baan quraacdaa - I have breakfast at 8:00
However, for 'joog' we use the present habitual to make a stative verb, to talk about our state ,
Hadda, waxaan joogaa Tokyo - I'm in Tokyo now (not waan joogayaa)
The present progressive form 'Waan joogayaa' can only be used about the future, like in English,
Waan joogayaa London - I will be staying in London (I'm not
going anywhere else)
If you want to say where you are now, use 'joogaa',
Xaaggaad joogtaa, imminka? - Where are you now?
Hadda, Waxaan joogaa garoonka - Now, I'm at the airport
dugsiga - the school
dukaanka - the shop
isbitaalka - the hospital
shaneemada - the cinema
