It is a WAA??????

WAA means "it is" but it's a weird way of saying "it is" because in English, we simply conjugate the verb "To Be" and that's it.  In Somali, WAA plays the role as a positive declarative mood classifier.  What does that mean to you?  
It is used for making positive declarative statements, for example, the English sentence "The sky is blue." The classifier for this mood is WAA.  If you say a positive declarative sentence without WAA (or a focus marker, discussed later) then you are incorrect.  This is the very basic use of the word WAA.  


Waa buug.      It is a book.
