    I just watched Ep 5 because a friend of mine was going on about how great it was, then I saw somewhere one of the Al Azhar complaining about it. Anyway so far, so good, the Arabic is a bit funky and so far one or two random things (or in the wrong order) but overall this segment is fine. The youtube link

    All the Abu Hakam/ Abu Jahal character is annoying the hell out of me- they could not have made him more dislike able.

    NGonge what is worrying is that Stoic even probably does that when speaking to other Somalis in real life, and although now your excuses is we dont know his wife and kids- the other side- i.e. the rude and vulgar alternative is also quite popular. Basicly labaad limit mooyaan eh miyaadeyan normal mode laheyn- must it be one extreme or the other.

    Juxa- special case dont count. Plus you have no issues saying my cake, my dress, my xalwo. At the same time I imagine when you speak of your other half, you might not say husband ALL the time and should in a convo a women keeps going my kusband this and my husband that, we might think tolow miya lagu heesta her husband, but you are likely to refer to him by his name or my husband interchangeably. Laakin I dont imagine you would say, caruruta abohood ama odeygii guriga (how can you give your house to a man or name it his house).

    Looooool!!! @ kombuyuutarkaan feedhi gaadhay. Dont break your computer!!!! lol

     

    JB you know it is true. Dont make me quote waxaad adigu tidhadtiid!!

     

    North yes that too.

     

    Stoic I know laakin it must be rooted in some fear to express attachment or you truly feel like you are just a temporary passenger. When ever I hear a guy say ciyaalka hooyadod, I use to think the parents were divorced.

    Somali men adopt a certain distance when talking about their children and wife. It always confuses me. Look at Stoic above comment. You would think he was a none related ghost.

    - the kid as suppose to MY kid/child.

    - Some little soul as suppose to responsibility for MY child

    - HIS mom as suppose to MY wife

    - His grandmother as suppose to YOUR mother or mother in-law.

     

    I was already thinking about this before I saw Stoic comment. I was speaking to my friend and his said I was speaking to the kids and their mother- me who? which kids and mother? So detached and independent of the family unit.

     

    Especially when they say it in Somali, I use to think maybe wey ka shaiksanyihin if they are the father or something. :Cool: :D

    “I consulted with the elders, religious leaders, youth and other prominent persons from my Galje’el clan. I was urged to resign,” stated the resigning deputy minister.

     

    He added that the fact that each of the ten ministries will have two deputy ministers meant that even a deputy ministerial post he was to assume was just half the position.

     

    “Considering the influence of my clan, I cannot accept to assume the position in a ministry with two deputy ministers,” remarked Mr. Ali. “There was an earlier consensus that my clan would get a state minister. Thus, this nomination must be undermining my clan’s status and I would not go down into the history books as the man who accepted an inferior position for my clan,” he added

    lol, the man is too funny- I dont want to go down in the history books kulaha! lol tragically funny. But even more tragic after some under the table negotiations, his clan is somehow accommodated and thus this madness of keeping the balance and his behaviour rewarded. Shame but his loss and his clan too if as he says it was a community decision. I hope they are not accommodated! bite the dust.

    A guy by the name GNONGE claims that clan is EVerYTHING, why not attack him but slain the young girl for being loyal to her clan. That's below the belt and pure hypocrisy if you from the same clan as that guy. Leave her be and love her clan, everyone does.

    I have- if you go to the politics section there are pages and pages from 2009. I have since proved my case and Ngonge gave up. There is also evidence that I public advocate for a Somali women clan across the board, because women in the traditional Somali sense do not have a clan.

     

    Now stop encouraging your cousin in wasteful and disastrous ways and learn to cross the bridge- you might be surprised at the goodness and loyalty of humanity as a whole.

    Lol I asked you questions maxaad isla xariifin?? and my questions stand and followed by what the hell does your people even mean? thinking you know someone based on what you perceive about their clan is in fact ignorant. BUT I based my assumptions on this below exchange:

     

    ^You see all his plans are make more babies with you and prop up the number of the enemy clan via you. Never accept that

    you answered

    Waranle I'm fiercely loyal to my people to say the least. Thanks.

    so I asked you two questions and then gave an example of what I was asking you-

     

    About being easy- Im sure you will figure out I dont mice my words, but Im not hitting on you, so I cant say you are easy or not- laakin that fact this guy think he can ASK and then force a hug means he either thinks you ARE easy or you've been giving mix signals. IF you had a dont enter my ocean air about you- it would not happen.

     

    You dont always get what you want, because you might not be what THEY want- what does a good looking man on is on his deen what with a girl who gets random hugs from questionable guys at work with rumors that she was his girlfriend floating about?

     

    Cousin means in the general sense of the word- same generic sub clan- anymore who by listing your fathers you meet before you get to 20 names.

     

    P.s. It is a forum- things cease to be yours soon as you post them PUBLICLY and anyone can say what they like, so dont post things you feel sensitive to people having different views on. And the general rule is if you post shid, you will get shid comments. :D and I am judging the content of what your wrote not you- for all I know you could be make it all up.

     

     

    On second thought: * laakin I will leave you and your threads alone from now on, because you will only take comments personally nor do I have time for ding dong replies As you were,*

    what do you mean you are loyal to your clan? you mean you actually judge people based on their clan? lol are you serious.

     

    Meeet farax- warya qolmaad tahey?

    Faaxa: I am china farax qooslayee

    U: Mentally filed in the never consider looooooong file. Warya get away from me- your clan and my clan are enemies

    Faarax: I dont even know my clan thing that well

    U: So? you killed all my people- go away

    F: Walahi I never killed nobody

    U: *****- war what your clan do, you are guilty of!

    F: I am so sorry!

     

    I find it interesting that you advocate for foreign marriages outside of the Somali race, yet there dividing lines within the Somalis- unless you are joking about only marrying your cousins or foreigners. I guess now I understand the whole thing about lack of good Somali men who is both religious and good looking from just one clan or few vetted clans which is pushing you towards the foreigners so fast (dont worry I am not judging on the foreign thing- I can't with my Bengali kusband- but Im judging on the cousin marriage thing.

     

    P.s. The farah thinks you are easy and playing his games!!! farah or any men should not even think he can touch your little finger let alone attempt a hug without explicit and initiated permission-!!! You should've slapped him so hard tears run like raindrops- it would've been a lesson well learnt.

    I told you not to give him that drink!!!!!! Now look what happens when you give a farah some juice :P:D

     

    No problem, he successfully managed to get all your co-workers off your back. Now you dont need to make small talk and fake smiles- sounds like protection = you should thank him. Of course if you were eyeing up someone else at work- correct the situation, otherwise what does it really matter?

    Lol! What is the big deal.

     

    I general feel uncomfortable talking to people- even ones I've seen around (like people you get on the bus with everyday for a year) so you know their face. I do find it strange for people to just talk to me (not asking for directions etc) but chatting. People only ever talk to me because they have a motive or they want something.

     

    The only exception to this rule and I do make this exception for old Somalis- I love the oldies and where ever and when ever I see them- I fold my book or stop for a while and chat with them. They have the most interesting life and stories, and in them I still see a sense of purity and honesty in their eyes and speech that I dont feel with other Somalis. Their kindness makes me sad, but Im always glad I made the time for them.

     

    I think XX objected to the fact that this guy approached him as if there was previous relation between them as individuals- based on the Somali factor. I too ignore people, particularly young farahs, what possible meaningful contribution can a farah on a train/bus/street make to my life? In fact it is rude and offensive for them to talk to me unless they are lost, need direction or something else, but not just for chatting- Just yesterday when I walked out of an airport, this farah chases after me yapping about hey sister do you want a cab Im going to town too, I didnt even look at him, just walked towards the taxi ranks- he said "war wax Ethiopian ah ayaan iska eraadey" and went back to the entrance to bother someone else. lol

     

    XX was nice to this man- I would've just said; iska raali ahoow, and please ha ila hadalin, haadi kale wa inan ka kaco halkaan,

    lol Somalis and Split personalities.

     

    It must be a farah thing!!!! I act, do and say the same things everywhere, consistency is good for the soul. I am glad to be in your caadi oska dhig crew NGonge.
