yh you can use it but strictly speaking it is a corruption of the actual meaning. For example you can say "Obama (example) u codee" i.e. vote for Obama but you cant say "Obama u sanqadh". Cod = voice imo and sanqadh= sound/noise.

I think one of the way you can translate this would be: offense
qofkaas waa qoonsaday.

This is how I explained it earlier (and some people on here are saying qoonsasho is when sone food makes you unwell):
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.
