Flirting

1. Waad quruxsan tahay

   You are beautiful

   Usage

   A compliment to a woman. Use it among people who know each other, politely; avoid saying it to a stranger.

2. Waad wanaagsan tahay

   You are kind

   Usage

   A gentle compliment on someone's character, for either gender.

   Grammar Note

   Wanaagsan means "good"; said of a person it means "kind".

3. Waan jeclahay inaan kula hadlo

   I enjoy talking with you

   Usage

   A mild way to say you enjoy the conversation.

   Grammar Note

   Kula is ku "you" plus la "with": "with you". After inaan the verb takes the subjunctive hadlo.

4. Waan ku jeclahay

   I like you

   Usage

   States affection. Use it within close relationships such as spouses or fiancés.

   Grammar Note

   Ku is the object "you". Jecel covers everything from "like" to "love".
