11. FORMS OF THE VERB USED AFTER THE WORDS "IF" AND "WISH" -
QAABAB LA ISTICMAALAYO ERAYADA "IF" IYO "WISH" KA DIB


"If"

Sentences using the word if usually consist of two clauses, each with its own verb. If the verb of the if clause refers to something which is either hypothetical or not
true, the following verb forms are usually used:

1) If the sentence refers to the present or the future, the Simple Past is used for the verb of the if clause, and the word would (wUd) is used before the verb of the
other clause. For example:

If I invited them, they would come.
Haddii anigu aan marti qaadi laha, iyagu way iman kari lahayeen.

It should be noted that in informal English, the verb was may be used in the if clause. However, in formal English, this use of was is considered incorrect, and the
verb were should be used instead. For example:

Informal English: If I was rich, I would travel. Haddii aan hodan ahaan lahaa, aniga waan safri lahaa.
Formal English: If I were rich, I would travel. Haddii aan hodan ahaan lahaa, aniga waan safri lahaa.


2) If the sentence refers to the past, the Past Perfect is used for the verb of the if clause, and the Past Conditional is used for the verb of the other clause. For
example:

If I had invited them, they would have come.
Haddii anigu aan marti qaadi laha, iyagu way iman lahayeen.

If I had seen you, I would have opened the door.
Haddii anigu aan arki laha, anigu waan ka furi karay irida.


Depending on the meaning to be expressed, the word unless (anles) is sometimes used instead of the word if. For example:

Unless I invited them, they would not come.
Aan anigu marti qaadi leheeyn iyaga, iyagu ma iman kari leheeyn.


"Wish"

The verb wish is often followed by a subordinate clause containing its own verb. The following verb forms are usually used for the verb of the subordinate clause:

1) If the clause refers to the past, the Past Perfect form of the verb is used. For example:

I wish you had come yesterday.
Waxaan rabi laha in aad timadid shalay.


2) If the clause refers to the present, the Simple Past form of the verb is used. For example:

I wish you were here now.
Waxaan rabi laha in aad joogtid halkan hadda.

It should be noted that in informal English, the verb was may be used as the verb of the subordinate clause. However, in formal English, this use of was is considered
incorrect, and the verb were should be used instead. For example:

Informal English: I wish I was rich. Waxaan rajeeyna laha in aan noqdo qof hodan ah.
Formal English: I wish I were rich. Waxaan rajeeyna laha in aan noqdo qof hodan ah.


3) If the clause refers to a later time, the word would is used before the verb. For example:

I wish you would come tomorrow.
Waxaan rabi laha in aad awodi kartid in aa timadid beri.


Depending on the meaning to be expressed, the word could is sometimes used instead of the word would. For example:

I wish you could come tomorrow.
Waxaan rabi laha in aad kari kartid in aad timaadid beri.

I wish you could have come yesterday.
Waxaan rabi laha in aad awoodi kartay in aad timaadid shalay.

dear chocolate
I am 100% somali and i was never thought how to read or write in somali. I went back to somalia this summer for my first time and i was so ashame of my self. I felt dump and ignorent. as soon as i came back i started learning somali. I am in sunday school and i am 20 years old, but i don't care as long as i learn somali.I think we should all learn somali in some way because english or french is not our mothers lang.take the time to learn somali cause no mater how old you are, you still have the time to learn.

take care my somalians

To chocolate, thanks for that. Sometimes i get a little ashamed because i don't know how to speak perfect somali or how to write it very well.
I have lived in London England, for 10 years and when i first came here i was a clever girl, i mean i knew the first 2 chapters of the Holy Quaran and i knew how to speak proper fluent Somali and i was only 7. Anyway, i started mixing in with white people in and out of school because there were no Somali people in my area. My mum tried to discourage me but there was nothing she could do but take me to the nearest masjid. And thank god i am so glad she did because i am on the road to recovering my culture and my language thanks to people like you.
I have met all my friends from Somalia, but they came from our country about 4 years after me, and ofcourse they know fluent somali.
Any way i now know when i look back, i just can't believe how much i forgot about who i was in those first two years in England. It was like my mind was brain washed and i had forgoten who i was, where i was from, my culture, my people, my beutifull land, my friends and so much more.
For me it couldn't be helped because the Kafireen succeeded in trying to make me one of them but they didn't quite get there because i was stong willed and determined to find my self "the real me". I just couldn't see how much of me those kafireen my so called "friends" tried to change, they persuaded me to start calling my self Fay in stead of my real name which is Faisa.
Any way i just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because people like you who don't want to be rude but who say that we must rty to learn Somali care about their fellow brothers/sisters and who try to help them are true muslims.
Thanks bro please mail me at fderia@hotmail.com if you have some more stuff to help me with learning somali speaking and culture.
