When asking questions, it's crucial to know the interrogative words like what, when, why, how, and where. Therefore, we'll go over those question words in today's episode while also utilizing them in complete sentences. (if it's easy for you to pronoun "h" instead of the "x" in Somali words, feel free to do so) Sidee = how  Maxay = what   why = sabab/maxaad who = kuma (for males) and tuma (for females) where = xagee (Hagee) When = goorma Siday ku dhacday = How did that happen?  Kumaa tahay or tumaa tahay? = Who are you? Maxaan qabtaa or  Maxaan sameeya?  = What should I do?  Maxaad aragtay = What have you seen? Maxaa dhacay = What happened? Take care you guys!
