Backpack
Boorso means bag: a school backpack, a handbag or a shopping bag. It came from Italian borsa, one of many everyday words that Italian left in Somali. It is a feminine noun: boorsada, the bag.
Tip: A morning routine in Somali: buugga boorsada ku rid, put the book in the bag.
Point at the real thing and say "Boorso" whenever it comes up, then let your child hear the native recording and say it back. One word used ten times in a day beats ten words drilled once. In the Luuqad app, Boorso is taught with a picture, tested in the School quiz and practised in Tap the Word.
