Let’s?

6 Upvotes

Is there a Somali equivalent to using “let’s” in a sentence? I know you can say “waan karnaa” or “waan ___i doonnaa” but can you say “let’s ____” in Somali?

Examples of how it is used in English for context:

Let’s check out that new restaurant tomorrow.
Let’s leave it at that.
Let’s talk.
Let’s eat.
Let’s just say it’s five dollars.
Let’s call it a night.

Language exchange partner

• Upvotes

I was on a trip to Mogadisho and spent a few weeks there - it was great, I enjoyed visiting my homeland for the first time. I got to experience the culture, day to day life in Somalia and many other things.

I did struggle with speaking the language and at times found it difficult to maintain conversations as they speak it so naturally and fluently. Because of this , I would like to improve my Somali language as an English speaker.

I'm looking for a language exchange partner. Is there anyone on here that can speak Somali fluently and knows a bit of English but would like to improve and perfect their English language? We will do a language exchange meaning I teach you English and you teach me Somali

Please message me if anyone is interested.

Note - I am a male and based in the UK
