Description
The Somali language has just one past tense, however the English language has three: past tense (sang), present perfect (has sung), and past perfect (had sung). Verb conjugations exist. Simply add the word "ay" to the subject if it is He or I. For example, Isagu wuu arkay walaalkiis means he saw his brother. Anigu waxaan tagay suuqa - I went to the market. However, you would add the verb to "tay" if the subject is she or you, as in iyadu waxay tagtay suuqa, which means "she went to the market." , Adigu waxaad aragtay gaadhi. You saw a car. The verb would take "een" at the end if they is the subject. Iyagu waxay arkeen Bisad, meaning they saw a cat. Thanks for listening and till next time have a wonderful day!
