Welcome!
Thanks for your contributions on Somali! Do make sure to pay attention to the style, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it :) Feel free to ping me if you need any help! Thadh (talk) 16:53, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey, thank you! Should I practice in the sandbox??

 * Well, you don't have to if you're confident, but using the "show preview" button is a good idea. Another tip: use reference templates. I've created R:so:Puglielli:2012, which you could use. For example, for an entry like, you could do samay (or simply samay), and it'll generate the whole reference by itself, so you don't need to copy-paste the whole name or even type it out. Make sure to use so-noun! You can give the gender and plural there, as well as plural gender, so it's quite handy. Thadh (talk) 17:25, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much. How can I add the gender and the plural could you give me some examples?
 * It's actually explained at the template, but I'll give a short explanation here: for example, should have the code so-noun. Note that the entries are given at pages without diacritics, while the headword is given with stress (hence náag). Hope that helps! Thadh (talk) 22:59, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, please sign your messages at talk pages and discussion pages (like WT:ID, WT:TR and WT:BP) with four tildes ( ~ ); these shouldn't be in entries, but it's handy to know which message is whose, and when it was written :) Thadh (talk) 23:06, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Got it! (Abtanaad (talk) 23:12, 7 June 2021 (UTC))
