Ana is not a word. It misspelled word of Anaa / Anna. Somali grammar

I understand Somali pronouns are complicated. Sometimes it is agglutinative other times not. It is confusing. Also, Majority of us didn’t pay attention Afsoomaali class. No problem.


—————
Here is the reason “Ana” is not word.

You should never use “ana” in paper or any formal writing papers. It is internet/text word.

Example

which one is correct

“ 1. Ana cunay
&
2. Anaa cunay “

If you said number 2 is correct. Congrats 🎉
Otherwise keep reading.

“anaa” comes from the Ebyoon pronoun “Aniga” combine with the focus word “ayaa”.


Aniga + ayaa cunay. Drop a ay
🔽
Anigaa cunay. drop ig
🔽
Anaa cunay


Magacuyaallo ebyoon |.
Aniga
Adiga
Isaga
Iyadu
Annaga
innaga
Idinka
Iyaga

——————-
Ebyoon | Ebyoon-diirad | Ebyoon-diirad-yar
Aniga+ ayaa => anigaa => anaa
Adiga +ayaa = adigaa =>. adaa
Isaga + ayaa => isagaa=> isaa
Iyada+ ayaa => iyadaa =>. iyaa
Annaga+ ayaa =>= annagaa=>. annaa
innaga + ayaa => innagaa =>. innaa
Idinka + ayaa => idinkaa =>. idinaa / idaa
Iyaga + ayaa => iyagaa => iyaa

——————————-
The frequency of the use of these words does become regional and age varriant.
children/teenage will use much more often; Iyaa/isaa. Isaa Isoo doontay. While some regions will much more often; idinaa.

———————
Ana is just misspelled word of anaa and Anna

An = me (root word of ebyoon/dhiman pronouns)
Na = me too, I too, what about me ?
