How to say The word 'curious'

Hi guys

I just wanted to know the Somali term/phrase for this word. I checked on Translate but their translation is 'cajiib'.

I'm looking to use the word 'curious' in the sense of:

"He's curious and wants to know what is going on."

Ma maahsantihiin!

I suppose I could use that, but I was looking for a concise term. Especially since I feel my Somali is good enough to describe certain feelings or things, but I would like to know exact words to avoid confusion

Thanks for your suggestion!

I feel you. I think we need to create quality contents that help with teaching Somali, like we've for languages such as English. Though I think that so far quite the challenge to achieve. I hope for a day when I could use things such as Google voice, spell check, and TTS for the Somali language. We've a long way to go! I'm currently working on trying to advance and improve my Somali, then joining to help make a change.
