What's in it?
Maxaa ku jira? means what's in it?. Maxaa means what, ku means in and jira means is or exists (from jir, to exist), so the question is what is in it? Ask it about a dish, a drink or a box. The answer uses waxaa ku jira plus the contents, or just lists them: Hilib, basal iyo yaanyo (meat, onion and tomato). It is a useful question for allergies, and for children who want to know what is in the suqaar.
Use "Maxaa ku jira?" 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.
Waa meeqa, Waan qaadan doonaa, Ma haysaa midaan?, Waa qaali, Waxaan rabaa inaan dalbado, Maxaa ku jira? and more. Then take the quiz.
