^Dr. Orwin of SOAS is a good teacher. The late polish Dr Guush was better though. Shabeel if you want some pdf files (somali/english) of literary nature I might be of some help. Poetic nature actually.

Volunteering to post yours? You hold the title, y'know?

^That little sentence and its laden undertones got me started, C&H. Sabriya, lol. OK, then.

^Well, I think her questions are simply idle talk. If one is really is interested in someone they don't go around the market researching about his/her ethnicity's attitutes or realities, is it? She should have the guts to go ahead with it, that's if the guy 'ever' says hi to her.

Offtopic: Actually my hero should be Cigaal Shiidaad. The cleverest Somali man to have ever lived. 'Abkeey Baahala Siciidoow Wallee ma bahal sandheer Sankuu muluq muluq ka siin...." That's him lamenting when confronted alone by a mouse in the dead of night in the middle of nowhere. He was such a good observationist.

Lol@Sayid. Reer magaal baa tahay sxb. Sabriya, lol. Cuqdad ma qabo and I am not going through anything dear. It's just that I can't entertain nonesense anymore.

Meeshaad tagtaba mid ha ku daba joobto waa duco sxb. Hooyadey baa iigu ducaysey.

^Loool. Yup they already shine, luujito xataa ma u baahna dheh.

^Lol. Koolkat. Walaaleey ma kacsani axem... . Balse runtii sod all this fakeness oo la leeyahay discard what you stand for to please others. Waxaan nahay waan nahay, kolkaa uma baahnin mid yaroo habow ah oo san nala soo gasha. Weli ma aragtey qof ajnabi ah oo qowmiyaddiisa dadka kale u caynaya? Waan necebahay Soomaalida dhulka isku jiidda markey qof ajnabi ah arkaan. Is tus tusnimada noocaa ah waan ku laabjeexaa. Waa spinelessness.

Lol. Nice one.

Ah get over it now. Should we be expected to 'change' our natural way of writing for every happy-go-lucky non-Somali visitor? We're not here to honour political correctness folks but to speak as freely as we wish. And thus we will. Be nice to fellow Muslims..heh. Who are we kidding here. What a joke. I aint having none of that. Ciddii halkan inoogu timaadda should find a way to come to terms with af-Somali. Show offs!

Lol. I didn't get the connection at first. It's so spontaneous.

^Lol. Thanks dear. War aan ku seexan karaad ii sheegtey. G'night folks. And stay Somali.

The Peacelord, eh? Such a beautiful term ahaha.

^And you imply I've already approved it? That's even though I haven't chosen where I would prefer to live? I'll tell you, the sea. Such a cliche. But Duke would approve of my choice.

I think the topic is metaphoric. Who is easy to catch: Al-Shabaab in the jungle or the Pirates in the high seas.

Che, adiga qolof moos ah aa ii sii dhigee yaah? Boolahaa tahay maxaan dhahaa. Ibti, no thank you. I would stick with 'midabkeeda dhiinka ah'.

^Lool. Curry of all foods? C'moon. Guri uuni ka udgayo ayaan la rabaa. One beautiful thing about our women. Their houses are well kept. Malika, usheeg nooh. Igama naxayso qoftan Ibti ah. Aniga nin ajanbi la siiyo waan ka qiimo badanahay.

^Yup, it's clear that you 'don't like me'. Just want to get rid of me, soo ma aha. But I sticking around, lady. Honestly, I can't see myself have an ever agreeable wife. I would suspect her to be working on some scheme to skin me alive. If it is to marry an ajnabi, I would marry a practising white sister, or a practising catholic or a jew.

^Lol. Hey not all Somali men like curvy Black woman-looking women. I think that would be a generalisation, Ibti. Some like a reasonably slim woman.

^Emperor, sxb kani waa war lugeed, waxayna u badan tahay in uu run yahay. In kastoo hubsiino hal baa la siistaa la yiri hadana hadiiba lacag la sheegey, that's a happy news. Lacalla hadii lacag nala siiyey.
