Meaning

Jaalle means yellow, the colour of the sun and of bananas (moos). The double ll is held a little longer than a single l. Jaalle is also an old word for a companion or comrade, which is why you may see it used as a form of address in older texts.

Example sentences

Qorraxdu waa jaalle.The sun is yellow.
Mooska waa jaalle.The banana is yellow.
