Today a relatively short post to start the day and maybe a longer one later. From reading Kibbeefi Waaqoo you see a lot of –is constructions in rhe sentences. This like; Waarituunis, isaanis, ilkaanis appear often at the start of sentences.
The addition of -is to these words implies an “and also” meaning to the word it is attached to. For example, if you asked someone “Where is your country?”- Biyyi kee eessaa? and they said something like Biyyi koo Adaamaa. Then being polite they could ask atis? or atihoo? to turn the question around. You could then answer anis, to say that your country is also Adama.
