Waan toosa oo dabkan shidaa.

I wake up and make fire.


Xooga biyo ah ayaan kariyaa.

I boil some water.


Xabadaan jajabiyaa.

I chop the firewood.


Dhariga waan walaaqaa.

I stir the pot.


Sibidhka ayaan xaaqaa.

I sweep the floor.


Weelashan dhaqaa.

I wash the dishes.


Maxaan aad ugu shaqeeyaa… … markuu walaalkey yar cayaar ku mashquulsanyahay?

Why do I work so hard… … when my brother is busy playing?
