Dhismo (Building): illustration from the Luuqad City lesson

Meaning

Dhismo means a building, and also construction, the act of building. It comes from the verb dhis, to build. It is a masculine noun: dhismaha, the building.

Tip: Dhis (build) gives dhismo (building), the same way the app's House Builder game builds a guri.

Example sentences

Dhismahu waa dheer yahay.The building is tall.
Kani waa dhismo cusub.This is a new building.

Using Dhismo at home

Point at the real thing and say "Dhismo" whenever it comes up, then let your child hear the native recording and say it back. One word used ten times in a day beats ten words drilled once. In the Luuqad app, Dhismo is taught with a picture, tested in the City quiz and practised in Baadiyo Journey.
