Dharkan wuu dheeryahay

This dress is long.

Gauni hili ni refu.

Funaanadan waa mid wayn.

This jersey is big.

Sweta hii ni kubwa.

Boorsadan waa mid wayn.

This bag is big.

Mkoba huu ni mkubwa.

Suunkan waa…

This belt is…

Mkanda huu ni…

Koofiyadan waa mid yar.

This hat is small.

Kofia hii ni ndogo.

Sharaabaadaha waa kuwo gaaban.

The socks are short.

Soksi hizi ni fupi.

Laakiin kabahani waa kuwo cusub.

But these shoes are new.

Lakini viatu hivi ni vipya.

… si fiican bey ula egyihiin.

… they fit well.

…vinanitosha vizuri.
