To notice/note/realise/question/think something, particularly something that you think is suspiscious. i.e. waxbaan qoonsaday e.g. waxan qoonsaday that person always cut the conversation short ? ... tolow maxay/muxuu uga jeedaa. I have noticed/questioned something. That is the best way I can explain it.

No. I would never say that :? I would say "wax aan diidayo ayaan cunay" or "hilibkii xalay ayay calooshu igu xanuuntay :lol:

Lets' put it down to regional variation. I would only use qoonsi in the way that I described.

Im confident that I am right though :lol: we will have to see, when there are loads of people saying I am wrong I will research and re-consider :lol:

p.s. The language does very slightly up north too though. There is reer galbeed lingo djibouti-awdal-maroodijeeex then there is Bari - Togdheer/sool/sanaag.

In that case your somali sucks, if I drink spoiled milk and get sick waxaan oran "waxaan qoonsaday caanihii baqay" what the hell is "aan diidayo" aan diidayo means something I don't want.
