If you are a northern Somali, you would say "imika" "imanka"

If you are a central Somali, you would say "haatan"

if you are a southern Somali, you would say "hada"

Generally, all Somalis would interchange "hada", "waqtigaan", "xiligaan", "saacadaan", "jiilkaan".

Greenday, could be la joogo but "xaadirka" and "Xilligaan" are also used.

I guess you mean " afukaatahaaga" meaning your "advocate" meaning your solicitor, lawyer, legal counsel ; the right somali word is QAREEN

Danyarta; the havenots ; the destitute, the poor, the marginalised
