I am currently studying the Somali language and this is a way to share what I have learned. I don't actually find studying Somali to be that bad. I call it "Somali Hell" because that's my weird sense of humor in dealing with learning a foreign language. There really isn't much out there to help learn this language so I have been pulling material wherever I can get it. I hope it helps you too.

The Past Simple: 2A&2B (Akhri/Samee)
Verbs which end in "i" or "ee" conjugate differently than the Past Simple C1 verbs. Verbs ending in "ee" you will add "y" before the past tense suffix. Additionally, for 2B verbs, the 2nd "e" is optional (Sameyey or Sameeyey)
