Tomorrow
Bari means tomorrow. In the app this word is used as a farewell meaning tomorrow, as in see you tomorrow. The app spells it bari, a common informal spelling; in standard Somali the word for tomorrow is berri, with a double r, while bari means east, so the spelling matters when you write it. A full farewell is Ilaa berri (until tomorrow) or Berri baan ku arki doonaa (I will see you tomorrow). The reply is the same phrase, or Nabadgelyo.
Tip: Today is maanta, tomorrow is berri and yesterday is shalay.
Use "Bari" 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.
