Orange
Cilaan is the word taught for orange. Cilaan is also the Somali word for henna, the reddish-orange dye used on hands and hair at weddings and Eid, which is where the colour name comes from. The fruit orange is liin macaan or oranji.
Tip: Orange is literally "henna-coloured": cilaan is the dye Somali women use on their hands.
Point at the real thing and say "Cilaan" 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, Cilaan is taught with a picture, tested in the Colors quiz and practised in Coloring.
Guduud, Buluug, Cagaar, Jaalle, Madow, Cadaan and more. Then take the quiz.
