Some of them are not even Somalis, They are African! This part is the only thing wrong about the whole story......in ethical sense that is! not by fact.

This is mockery...But considering two true Nomads with their macawiis bakoorad and sandals speaking English he should be flattered....

Now this is a good question...Y u no produce milk?...

Sadexda tuduc ee ugu horeeya ayaa ugu qiimo badan gabayga....Let me try to translate with my simple pathetic english 1- Dacartuba mar bay malab dhashaa ood muudsataa dhabaqe Even the aloe -Known to be bitter- gives a nectar as sweet as honey 2-Waxaan ahay macaan iyo qadhaad meel ku wada yaale [i am] bitter and sweetness in the same place --in reference to the aloe 3-Midigtayda iyo bidixdaydu waa laba mataanoode My right and left hands are twins.. This gabay is a classic example for "Sillan-sugan" ?!

Dacar = Somali for Aloe vera (bitter aloe) maato = dadka itaalka daran (gaar ahaan caruurta iyo dadka waawayn) daadihin = "daadah dibada baro" holding a child's hand while he/she learning how to walk mur = Arabic word for Qadhaadh deebaaq = geed qadhaadh Masalooyin = Arabic word for Examples talantaali = opposite maagis = gardaraysi miigan = madax adag/ caniid ah Mukhawi = From the town of Mukha in yemen , nowdays waxa la yidhaa Maakhiri, means "Qof khiyaamo badan" miista = meel ku gura/ miisaama/ for example if you are in a shop and a somali lady says ( kiiloo sokor ah ii miis) Means ii miisaan kiiloo sokor ah. Maqaam = Arabic word for (maqaamka sheekh hebel) the Tomb of a renowned sheikh Majee.rtane= I have explained this word in the first page of this thread, Remember difference between Xan/kuunid/Majee.rasho Loofaroon = The english word Loafer ....

So I was just bringing that up as something else to think about, because it's not only women who have to worry about age. True, There are certain genetic syndromes associated with advanced paternal age.....and other genetic diseases associated for advanced maternal age....Laakiin Kollay cidii Ilaahay u qoray ayuun bay ku dhacaan, the syndromes can even happen to newborns of young parents.

Safferz;947212 wrote: Male fertility declines around the same time too. Its not about Fertility per say...For example, in 21st century many people develop Chronic diseases like Diabetes and hypertension in their late 30s, on the long run, if uncontrolled both those conditions lead to impotence and sexual dysfunction. Aging process its self affects reproducibility of an individual...another example is Happy pills taken by many young people decrease libido....Smoking, Alcoholism, exposure to radiation, obesity etc..may all take part in decreased reproductive capabilities in men. My point its more of a disease thing rather than biologic clock for men.

"Aadamaw waxaad maagantahay adiyo maankaagu, iyo meel ilaahay ku marin kala mid weeyaane" ayuu abwaan soomaaliyeed horey u yidhi No point in Planning and thinking about this SP, The time I was planning in my head iyo waqtiga arrimuhu dhaceen, at least 7 years ayaa u dhexeeya...Markaa maruun buu soo dhacaa.....I have friends of both genders some married extremely young 40 (for the first time that is late). Conclusion, Guurku waa sida arsaaqda oo kale, you just stumble upon it when its your time. Each side has its own pros and cons....Marrying older usually means more life experience, financial stability, emotional stability, more patience,,while marrying young means, more passion, more fun, etc...I know one Somali dude he is 22 and he is already into his 3rd wife, divorced the first two (such thing is sick)..... Bari ayaa nin guursaday, Deetana odayaashii xaasle ah ayaa u yimi oo ku yidhi, ka warran guurka?, inta uu dhangad qaatay ayuu dhinac walba ku fujiyay oo uu odaygii xanuuniyay, markaasuu ku yidhi (waxa saas u macaan baad hore noogu sheegi waysay) , haddana wiil doob ah ayaa u yimi oo isla su'aashii waydiiyay, Guurka ka warran? , umuu warceline shibta ayaa ka qabsaday (silent treatment)!!!!

Exactly...You have the full history...We are on the same page markaas, Somali is a collective (deregatory) term to the Defeated....the muslims....So If records say Ahmed gurey was somali it doesn't necessarily mean he was an ethnic Somali, Ahmed bin Ibrahim Al ghazi is not a Somali name...Let us not Spoil the topic to Alpha...Meel kale inoo gee sheekadan, May be a thread on ahmed guray.

Safferz;946752 wrote: The clan stuff is dumb, but I do believe he was Somali. Ethiopian historiography (including the royal chronicles) describe him as a Somali with an army of Somali nomads, and I think Somali oral history confirms this. But I do know there are a few scholars who argue he was not (possibly Harla from Harar), but their only evidence is the ambiguity of the one account Futah Al-Habash, written by an Arab who was there at the time and noted that the army was Somali... so their logic is that if Gurey was was Somali, he would have mentioned that too. The oldest written records considering the word "Somali" is in some Ethiopian texts, Ironically it meant some Derogatory term. so him being called Somali in Ethiopian texts doesn't mean he is an ethnic Somali, but it implies he was one of the Somalis (Derogatory collective term)

Nice thread...As always. But did you notice the taste for women is changing, Europa and Germania seem a little bit out of shape (in today's Standards) and every other painting from the renaissance and beyond, women are depicted in a rather well built and full form (you know what I mean inaar)....Arabs used to feed brides with ghee and dates before wedding them to the houses of their husbands, just that they gain more weight....Anyway this is for another discussion for another day. I think the only reasonable personification for Somalis Would Faarax Jaamac Faarax Jaamac is the Typical Somali, Waa Codkar, Waa Aftahan, Waa nin reerkiisa dhaqda oo xoolo iyo mood leh, xaaskiisa si fiican xakamaha ugu haya, warankiisu dagta u saaranyahay, Beeshiisa aad u jecel, Wadanku wuxu yahay aan aqoon, Dhulkiisana aaminsan, Salaada markuu Lixdanka gaadho bilaabi doona, Tafiir ciidaas leeg dhalay, iwm.

After being invited by an Arab and given Arabic Coffee.... three cups of that concentrated coffee at 2200 tonight, I come back home and I try to sleep, guess what...no sleep at all, so after hours of miserable qalaamo-rogad, I decided to do something useful until morning and go to work,...Anyhow,,I was listening to some old Somali songs..and then I remembered The only other thing that can make feel this sleepless...The Somali Green Salad!...Oh the Teenage days, When Trying it was utmost form of Manliness, Sitting in some Maqaaxi on the other side of town (making sure you don't run to someone you know) listening to Qaraami songs on Panasonic Radio and drinking some nice Shaahii Barjaha....iyo waliba bacdii la isku ruugi jiray!!!....Bitter-sweet memories, ...But Hey, Everyone is entitled to some out of the rule adventure when they are young...So that you don't get back to it in midlife crisis.

Reading through all of those akward moments Starting from Aaliyah to odaysomali, I thought they are reiterating a paragraph of my life .....Aaliyah, I have done that cliche, of How many months? so many times, that I don't see it as an akward moment anymore, my line of works forces me to do so...
