Naga

As in"Naga tag" or "Naga xidh albaabka"

From Us, For Us.

Have no idea but since we are on the subject of translation, anyone know the English word for dab-qaad. It holds the unsi (for the house to smell nice) so it doesn't burn you. I wanted to buy one that is electrical online but don't know the English word for it. Help plz.

What about when I'm speaking in the singular though
Like Naga tag (just me)
Naga daa (Just Me)

You mean an Idin hadaa,I don't know what that is called.The closest I can get in English is a thurible which is what the Catholics use to burn incense.Maybe just simply an incense holder will do

don't mean to be pedantic but isn't it 'inaga' instead of 'naga' as in "inaga tag"

btw, I can't translate the word on it's own.

correct. naga = inaga, anaga.

Ciyaal xaafada lingo

short of anaga or inaga

Cumar "I" only comes in when the person you are talking to is included in what is been rejected
E.G "Inaga keen" let us leave here "Inaga daa" let us not have it
My issue is when speaking as a single person why do we use NAGA and not IGA

Naga = of it (follow by command)

In context, it can be

Naga (singular) = of me (follow by command)
Naga (plural) = of us (follow by command

Republic markaa the singular Iga ma jirto miyaa
There use to be this "mad man" that the kids in Hargeisa use to disturb when he was praying
He use to say "Iga ma jabto Igama Khudunto (salaadu)" he never ever said Naga
Personnally I think kuwa ku ciyaarey nin tukanaya were the mad ones
