Where is the store?
Dukaanka intuu ku yaalaa? means where is the store?. Dukaanka means the shop, intuu is intee (where) joined to uu (it or he), ku means at, and yaalaa means is located, so the question is where is the shop? Yaal is the form used for masculine nouns such as dukaan; for feminine nouns such as magaalo (city) the verb is taal, as in the Asking topic question Intay ku taalaa? Dictionaries write the verb with a double l, yaallaa. The answer names the place or points: Halkaas buu ku yaallaa (it is over there).
