Repeating tasks and reminders
A repeating task in Qoraal comes back on its own. Finish it, or let its reminder go out, and the next one is created straight away with the same person, the same reminder spacing and its steps reset.
The six repeat patterns
| Pattern | English phrase | Somali phrase |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | every day, daily, every morning | maalin kasta, subax kasta, habeen kasta |
| Weekdays | every weekday, working days | maalmaha shaqada |
| Weekly | every week, every Friday | toddobaad kasta, Jimce kasta |
| Every 2 weeks | every other week, fortnightly | laba toddobaad kasta |
| Monthly | every month, monthly | bil kasta |
| Yearly | every year, yearly | sannad kasta |
Qoraal only treats a phrase as a repeat when it clearly says so — "every", "each", "daily", or Somali "kasta" or "walba". A task mentioning a day once is not repeated.
