I am bored
Waan caajisanahay means i am bored. Caajis means boredom or laziness, caajisan means bored, and with waan and -ahay the sentence is I am bored. Children say it on long afternoons and rainy weekends. A parent can answer Aan ciyaarno (let us play) or Buug akhri (read a book). Be careful with the root word on its own: calling someone caajis means calling them lazy.
Use "Waan caajisanahay" 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.
Waan faraxsanahay, Waan ku jecelahay, Waan iga farxisaa, Waad qurux badantahay, Waxaa tahay saaxiib wanaagsan, Waan murugeysanahay and more. Then take the quiz.
