Can you lower the price?
Wax ma iga dhimi kartaa? means can you lower the price?. Wax means something, ma is the question marker, iga is i plus ka (from me, for me), dhimi means to reduce and kartaa means you can, so the question is literally can you reduce something for me? It is the standard opening of a Somali bargain, said with a smile after Waa qaali. The seller may answer Haa, wax yar (yes, a little) and name a new price, or Maya, waa qiimaha ugu dambeeya (no, that is the final price). Bargaining is normal at markets and small shops, not in restaurants.
Use "Wax ma iga dhimi kartaa?" 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.
