Qoonsi does not mean the same as diidis or have anything to do with it ... Qoonsi means marka aad wax istidhaahdid, to observe/notice/question something, often used in the context of suspicision. I cant recall the direct english translation though :down:

Haye, qofkale ha inoo saxo. In the meantime I have a question, could I say "qofkale ha inoo garnaqo" in this context or would that be streching the context in which the word garnaq is used ?

1. Capacity- Awood

Example: Ministry of capacity building - Wasaarada kobcinta awooda

2. Regret - Qomamo-Shalayn-Ciil kama korid

Expmale: ...........

3. Pampering - Kool-koolin

Example: Koolkoolinta badan ilmahaaga way biisaa- Too much pampering spoils your child.

Ps. You're welcome in advance.

yes you can say it, but some how garnaqis gives the impression of big disagreement, while dhexdhexaadin shows minor disagreement with no bad feeling.

Yes thanks a bunch sxb :up:

Awood (ability) I think is a good translation as one of the meanings of capacity. Xad, mug, baaxad fulfill another meaning.

Kool-koolin and also xanaanayn :up: yh pampering
