Cold
Qabow means cold. It works for the weather, maanta waa qabow, today is cold, and for cold things, biyuhu waa qabow yihiin, the water is cold. Dhaxan is another word for the shivering kind of cold. Families in Minneapolis, Toronto and Oslo use qabow far more than relatives back home ever did.
Tip: Qabow and kuleel are a pair: learn them together as cold and hot.
Point at the real thing and say "Qabow" whenever it comes up, then let your child hear the native recording and say it back. One word used ten times in a day beats ten words drilled once. In the Luuqad app, Qabow is taught with a picture, tested in the Weather quiz and practised in Tap the Word.
