LoL I know saxib but if you look i choose my words carefully. The Imam mentioned something about being vigilent after khutba today. I dont knwo what he was implying laakin. i edited my earlier post (dont want to e deported)

The only words i changed from MMA's are those in bold. Dalooliye (hole maker) is what a drill does no?

Lily, Edited LoL@Cadaan. Hunguri, we all know the Somali people are survivors.

^^Like I said it depends where you are.

Originally posted by Cadaan: No one ever did explain why "dooro" was a bad word...... Depends where you are It has a completely different meaning in the north. Something similar to 'uskag' (dirty). Not to be confused with dooro (choose). MMA Screw = bool Screwdriver = dismis Saw [jigsaw] = miinshaar Hammer = dube Chimney = saqaf [shoolad] - (saqaf = Afro Comb Shoolad = Cooker) Nail = musbaar Pliers [pincer] = biinso (not sure) Drill = dalooliye Wrench = baanad Crowbar = sabarad Axe = faash Shovel = majarafad

^^ We know Somali families with two or three house maids. One to cook, one to clean and one to look after the kids!

Ethiopian Gen. 'slaps Somali President' Ethiopian General Gabre Heard has slapped Somalia's interim President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed twice on the face, officials say. The row between President Yusuf Ahmed and Gen. Heard started after the president accused the army general of disobeying the orders given by the Somali government, a Somali official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Press TV correspondent in Mogadishu. Irked by the Somali President's remarks, who accused the Ethiopian troops of firing artillery at the Presidential Palace and the government bases, the army general slapped the Somali president on the face. The angry general then swore that he would kill the president and left the room. Following the quarrel, the president called Amison peace keeping troops for security. There is speculation that a conflict could arise between the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amison) and Ethiopian troops. Gen. Gabre has his supporters in the government, including Mogadishu Mayor Mohamed Omar Habeeb and head of the security agency Mohamed Warsamme Darwiish. MRD/RE Source

Amiin.

:confused: I think LOZ has alot to answer for :mad:

^^Again, the extent of which is not as bad as Somalis say. Somaalida waad garnaysaaye ha rumaysan 100%. When it comes to telling stories basbaaskoodu is more than that contained in a chicken tikka masaala!

$1.10 - $1.00 = $0.10 no?

^^You simply take the good from all sides. East and West. We are lucky in that we are aware of both cultures which makes it alot easier. You are also aware of the bad of both sides and be thankful you are Somali :cool:

^^We are also told to improve ourselves as individuals and groups for the betterment of the Ummah. In the meantime, one is to pray for those who are oppressed. is there another choice? ps 8:153?

^^They are not. A city being westernised is not necessarily a bad thing

*yawns, stretches, yawns again*

^^I would be suprised if it exists to the extent LST stated. Dubai has many faces. Before most western Expats arrived it was home from home for many Indians (and still is). You didnt hear anyone say Dubai is so Indianised.

The answer could as easily be $0.10. Trust Cara to complicate things :rolleyes:

^^One hasnt seen nor heard anything to suggest such things take place.

Is it true that a large number of "off-the-boat" Somali girls are turned into prostitutes in Dubai by Somali "pimps" who are smuggling these young girls into UAE by the hundreds? Have we become just like the Ethiopians? I heard most Somalis in Dubai know about this sad story and they can't do anything about it. Say whaaaat? :eek: No such thing is happening saxib. Don't believe what you hear. Many visitors would attest to that.
