Waan toosa oo dabkan shidaa.

I wake up and make fire.

Je me réveille et j’allume un feu.


Xooga biyo ah ayaan kariyaa.

I boil some water.

Je fais bouillir de l’eau.


Xabadaan jajabiyaa.

I chop the firewood.

Je fends du bois de chauffage.


Dhariga waan walaaqaa.

I stir the pot.

Je remue le chaudron.


Sibidhka ayaan xaaqaa.

I sweep the floor.

Je balaye le plancher.


Weelashan dhaqaa.

I wash the dishes.

Je lave la vaisselle.


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

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

Pourquoi est-ce que je travaille si fort… … quand mon frère est en train de jouer ?
