I am tired
Waan daalanahay means i am tired. Daal means tiredness, daallan means tired, and with waan and -ahay the sentence is I am tired. In standard spelling the adjective has a double l, Waan daallanahay; the app uses the simpler spelling daalan, which sounds almost the same in fast speech. Say it after school or a long day, and expect the reply Naso (rest) or Wax yar naso (rest a little). To make it stronger, say Aad baan u daallanahay, I am very tired.
Use "Waan daalanahay" 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.
