Waxaan diiraa baradhada.

I peel the potatoes.

Ninamenya viazi.


Waxaan jarjaraa kaabajka.

I chop a cabbage.

Ninakatakata kabichi.


Waxaan jeexaa kaarootada.

I grate the carrots.

Ninasaga karoti.


Waxaan dhaqaa digirta.

I wash the beans.

Ninaosha maharagwe.


Waxaan jaraa lowska.

I cut the butternut.

Ninakata maboga.


Waxaan jarjaraa isbinaajka.

I chop the spinach.

Ninakatakata sukuma-wiki.


Hooyaday waxay jarjartaa basasha.

My mom chops the onions.

Mama yangu anakatakata vitunguu.


Basasha way iiga oohisaa markii lajarjaro.

Onions make me cry when they are chopped.

Vitunguu hunifanya nilie vikiwa vinakatwakatwa.
