How much is it?
Waa meeqa means how much is it?. Waa means is and meeqa means how much or how many, so Waa meeqa? is the everyday how much is it? Point at the item or name it first: Kani waa meeqa? (how much is this?). The seller answers with waa plus the price: Waa shan doolar (it is five dollars). Immisa means the same as meeqa, so Waa immisa? also works, and in a Somali market the first answer is usually the start of a negotiation, not the end.
