intee in le'eg ayaad halkan ka shaqaynaysay?
how long have you worked here?
Qado ayaan u baxayaa
I'm going out for lunch
Waxaan soo laaban doonaa 1.30
I'll be back at 1.30
intee in le'eg ayay kugu qaadanaysaa inaad shaqada tagto?
how long does it take you to get to work?
gaadiidka ayaa maanta ahaa mid aad u xun
the traffic was terrible today
sidee ku helaysaa shaqada?
how do you get to work?
waa lagaa eryay!
you're fired!
waxay ku jirtaa fasaxa umusha
she's on maternity leave
waxa uu ku maqan yahay fasaxa aabbanimada
he's on paternity leave
maanta wuu xanuunsanayaa
he's off sick today
maanta ma joogo
he's not in today
fasax ayay ku maqan tahay
she's on holiday
Waxaan ka baqayaa inaanan fiicneyn oo aanan awoodin inaan maanta soo galo
I'm afraid I'm not well and won't be able to come in today
wakhtigan xaadirka ah waxa uu la joogaa macmiil
he's with a customer at the moment
daqiiqad ka dib ayaan kula joogi doonaa
I'll be with you in a moment
waan ka xumahay inaan ku sugo
sorry to keep you waiting
maku caawin karaa?
can I help you?
ma u baahan tahay wax caawimo ah?
do you need any help?
maxaan kuu qabtaa
what can I do for you?
shir buu ku jiraa
he's in a meeting
Waqtigee ayuu bilaabmaa shirku?
what time does the meeting start?
Waqtigee ayuu dhamaanayaa shirku?
what time does the meeting finish?
soo dhawayntu waxay taal dabaqa koowaad
the reception's on the first floor
Waxaan xor noqon doonaa qadada ka dib
I'll be free after lunch
jimcaha ayay fasax qaadanaysaa
she's having a leaving-do on Friday
way is casishay
she's resigned
qaansheegtan waa daahday
this invoice is overdue
waa la dalacsiiyay
he's been promoted
waa kan kaadhkaygii ganacsiga
here's my business card
ma arki karaa warbixinta?
can I see the report?
Waxaan u baahanahay inaan sameeyo xoogaa sawir-koobiye ah
I need to do some photocopying
aaway sawir qaadihii?
where's the photocopier?
koobiyeeyaha ayaa saxmay
the photocopier's jammed
Waxaan uga tagay faylka miiskaaga
I've left the file on your desk
dhib baa ka jirta kombayutarkayga
there's a problem with my computer
Nidaamku hadda wuu dhacay
the system's down at the moment
intarneedku wuu maqan yahay xilligan
the internet's down at the moment
Ma gali karo iimayladayda
I can't access my emails
daabacuhu ma shaqaynayo
the printer isn't working
