I am angry
Waan xanaaqsanahay means i am angry. Xanaaqsan means angry, from xanaaq (anger), and with waan (I) and -ahay (I am) it becomes I am angry. It is a strong but normal thing for a child to say, and better than acting the anger out. The usual reply is Maxaad u xanaaqsan tahay? (why are you angry?). To tell someone to calm down, say Ha xanaaqin, do not be angry.
Use "Waan xanaaqsanahay" 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.
