Who helped you?
Yaa ku caawiyay means who helped you?. Yaa means who, ku means you, and caawiyay is the past tense of caawi (to help), so the question is who helped you? Questions with yaa put the answer in the same slot: Hooyo ayaa i caawiyay, mom helped me, where i means me. To ask about help with a specific task, use kaa: Yaa laylista kaa caawiyay? (who helped you with the homework?). The app shows the phrase without a question mark; in writing it takes one.
Use "Yaa ku caawiyay" in the moment it belongs to, not as a drill: say it, wait, and accept any answer in Somali or English. Children learn phrases from hearing them at the right time, and the native recording on this page gives you the model to copy.
