I am sad
Waan murugeysanahay means i am sad. Waan is I plus the focus marker, murugeysan means sad (from murug, sorrow) and -ahay means I am. Say it when something has gone wrong and you want to tell someone how you feel. A caring reply is Maxaa dhacay? (what happened?) followed by comfort. The word is also spelled murugaysan; both spellings are common.
