He answered them all as diplomatically as he can. Shariif is a rare breed among Soomaali leadership since civil war. Eebba ha u garabgalo.

I guess 19 years of seemingly without end civil war ayaa keeno waxaan camal. Kalsooni la'aan iyo questioning everything that was established. Soomaalida mushkilada heysato waala wada ogyahay, meesha ibtiladaas kasoo faracantayna waa isognahay: Qabyaalad.

Amarro lagu soo rogay Haweenka ku dhaqan degmada Buulaburde ee Gobolka Hiiraan Haweenka ku dhaqan degmada Buulaburde ee gobalka Hiiraan ayaa bilaabay cabasho ay ka muujinaya amarro ay ku soo rogeen Mas'uuliyiinta Xarakatul Shabaabul Mujaahidiin ee gacanta ku haya degmada Buulaburde. Cabashada ayaa timid kaddib markii dhawaan Maamulka degmada Buulaburde uu sheegay in aan la arki karin haween aan wadan indhoshareer iyo xijaab isla markaana aan la ogoleyn in ragga iyo haweenku ay wada raacaan hal gaari, waxaana qaar ka mid ah haweenka oo la hadlayay warbaahinta tilmaameen in xijaabku wanaagsan yahay loogana baahan yahay haween kasta oo Muslimad ah, hase ahaatee ay ka codsanayaan maamulka degmada in aan qasab looga dhigin qaadashada indhoshareerka oo ay haweenku sheegeen in uu Sunno yahay. Haweeney diiday in magaceeda la soo xigto ayaa u sheegtay HOL in ay la dhacsan tahay hab dhaqanka Maamulka degmada Buulaburde iyo qaar ka mid ah amarrada Shareecada waafaqsan ee la soo saaray, laakiin waxaa ay carrabka ku dhufatay in ay dhibaato ku qabaan go'aamada qaarkood sida mamnuucida isla raacida gaadiidka ragga iyo haweenka, mar haddii bey tiri aysan suurta gal aheyn in ragga ama haweenka midkood uu yeesho gaadiid u gaar ah. Gaadiidka ka shaqeeya degmada Buulaburde ee ka baxa Magaalada Beledweyne ayaa hadda bilaabay nidaamka ah in ay kala fariistaan ragga iyo haweenka oo markii hore qaarkood la arki jiray iyagoo wada fadhiya hal kursi. Waa markii ugu horreysan oo qeyb ka mid ah Gobalka Hiiraan laga soo saaro amarradan oo kale, waxaana inta badan si weyn u soo dhaweeyay go'aanka uu qaatay Maamulka degamda Buulaburde dadka shacabka ah oo u arka in ay tahay wax lagu farxo fulinta amarrada Alle sida qaadashada Xijaabka iyo in aysan isdhaxgalin ragga iyo dumarka.

Originally posted by Blessed*: Haha. Every time someone wants to learn Somali, nomads confuse the heck out of them. I agree with Marx. If you want to learn the grammar, you're better off approaching Somali elders and trained professionals. Most of us here have learnt Somali 'naturally' and were not schooled on the rules of language- hence all the differences in translation. MMA, Buuga aad sheegtay magaciisa ma soo ogaan kartaa, baliis? Waxaa la dhahaa buugga Barashada Naxwaha Afsoomaaliga, (though spelled "Af Soomaali"). [subtitled: A Somali School Grammar.] Waxaana qoray Cabdalle Cumar Mansuur iyo Annarita Puglielli. Baloogaan ila arag asagana. Ma xumo.

Soomaaliya has been swarmed long enough with enough hub to last generations to come. Hub kale uma baahna, walaa kaare iyo miigag.

Yet he responds about the pirates as "thieves and gangsters" whilst the african union and even hollywood says totally opposite. They are tuugo oo mooryåån ah. Tuug isbaaro ha dhigto dhulka ama badda waa tuug.

I am thinking of Abdi or Abaadir, but I don’t know enough about Somali names to know if these particular names are linked to a certain clan or are universal in the entire Somalia. Cabdi (Abdi) is a region-wide Soomaali name, where as Abaadir is a coastal name, particularly a Banaadiri name (around Mogadishu region). Both trace their roots to Arabic, so if you truly want a Soomaaliya-wide authentic name, there are several, including Samatar or Warsame. Or Mahad or Liibaan. Their meanings can be given if you want. Here are some other things I’m wondering about… What was life like in Somalia after the 60’s? In the rural areas especially, what were homes like, or day-to-day life? What about school? Was it far away? Did everyone go? I read somewhere that Somali language didn't come into schools until 1972, what languege were the schools before this? How many years did children usually go to school in the 70’s? How was school in Somalia different than school in the US? Did kids play games? Did they work to help the family? Boys, especially girls, hardly went to school in '50s and '60s. And those few lucky ones who went to were not from rural, but urban areas. They were probably thought in Arabic, Italian and English. Rural people went to 'dusgi' (madrassa), where they learned the Holy Qur'an. However, the educational system had a vast change in early 1970s, affecting both rural and urban people. Soomaali language was made as an official language and was the only language thought at schools, from primarily to colleges. Children started schools mostly in their fifth or sixth year of their age and graduating from primary and elementary in their 14th year of age. It wasn't that much different from American school system, besides the students only being taught in their native Soomaali language. Kids did play games, inside and outside schools.

Maxaa run eh? Dhul walba Soomaaliya kamid ah run dhibaatooyin ah laga sheegi karaa, meel dhibaatada wada wadaagin iska yar, but no one salivates about some certain regions' misfortune only.

Tomorrow I'll have to figure out what to do with the lamb in my freezer, no doubt I'll be consulting Tammy's website; any suggestions? Feed it to makulaasha dariskaaga leeyihiin.

Buuxo, sadex wax baad isku lifaaqday...First, single motherka system ka dhuuqaya, kuwa aan dhibka ku qabo waa kuwa very year or second year manage to have more kids...Which hadii runta la'isku sheego means odaygii isagoo joogo bey year after year after year cunug kasoo tuuroysaa! Hadeysan caruurta afford gareen karin yeysan dhalin, hadey dhalaana caruur xaaraan lagu koriyay yaanan hadhow dheef laga sugin... Second, dhalinyarada factoryga, airportka, car rentalada iyo wixii lamid ah ka shaqeeya, like I said before, if this is something they're doing on temparary basis, it is understandable...How ever, waxaan fahmi karin markey nolosha ka dhigtaan ineysan wax kale qabsan karin other than shaqooyinkaas...The opportunities far surpass the limits they put on themselves when they settle for less... Third, waalidiinta wax aan ka dhihi karo maleh, as I am sure kuligood iney nagu koriyeen to the best they could...Laakiin waa anagii inaan meesha wax ka qabsano, kana faa'iideysano fursadaha nala siiyay...Anagey tahay inaan is dhiira galino, oo aan wixii horumar ah isku caawino isuna sheegno... Nothing wrong barbaar badan la dhalo, oo dadkii dhalay u taalaa sababta u dhaleen iyo waxee u rabaan. Koriskoodana iyaga u taalaa. Ama haku koriyaan shab ama muruqooda, taas qof kale ee u taalo maleh. Dhaqan gaaleedka oo hal iyo laba la dhalaayo ma fiicno, run ahaantii. Irsaaqada Eebbe haayo, qof hadduu awoodo intuu dhalaayo ha dhalo. Tan kalena dhalinyarada ku shaqeysanaayo shaqooyinkaas aad tirisay, haddee iyaga caadi u arkaan, nothing wrong with that. At least muruqooda ayee maalanoyaan, qaarkoodna ku korsanoyaan qoyskooda, making the ends meet. Some of those jobs pay good, oo saas uma xumo. Magac ahaan ha u fiirin iyo meesha laga shaqeeyo. As long as it is paying good and xalaal, waa caadi. Dad ayaa xaaraan dhex walaaqo, such as real estate agents and bankers, day in and out dealing with interests iyo usury. Those jobs dad ayaa u arko xaaraan xaaraan dhaaftay, yet at the same time same people who criticize dadka kale who earn xalaal jobs waxba kama sheegaan kuwaas because jobs like real estate and those in banking sector are 'respected.' Meesha waa in aakhiro laga fikiraa as well, adduun kaliya ma'ahee. This world beri dhamaanaa. Again qof walba nolosha isku si maku arko, qof walbana uma arko working at a lofty office from 9-5, working for some invisible corporations inay dan u tahay. Dadka waa kala nooc.

Runtaa waaye, Nuunka, oo waraaqda shay loo isticmaali karaa. Laakiin wali weerada uu qoray ee sentence ah qofka la helay ma'aha warqadda ee dhaqtarka waaye oo qof ah. The emphasize is on qofka (not waxa) la helay, oo ah dhaqtarka. Koley adi Afsoomaali ma kugu gaariyee ee waa kaas xaaji. Buug Afsoomaaliga grammarkiisa iyo sida loo kala qoro ku saabsan ayaa shaley library ku arkay. Very, very interesting ahaa oo maba aqrin wali. That book deals primarily about what we are discussing about now, how weeraha iyo ereyada loo kala dhigo iyo sida magacyada u kala baxaan, sida magacyada loo alifo ku haboon iyo waxyaabo badan. Twenty years of research buug ku saabsan waaye oo la daabacay 1999 u maleynaa.

The 'man-girdle' is coming Belt-tightening is about to take on a whole new meaning. An Australian undergarment manufacturer has developed a body-shaping undershirt that promises to do for men what Wonderbra did for women. The so-called Core Precision Undershirt by Equmen, which launched in North America last week, promises to "sculpt, tone and improve body mechanics." "They fit like a second skin, delivering the ultimate fusion of fashion and function," the company's website boasts. Holt Renfrew is the first Canadian retailer to carry the line and expects to have stock available for sale later this month. "It's an opportunity for men to look as good as we do," quipped Holt Renfrew menswear sales associate Jacqueline Mills from the high-fashion retailer's Bloor St. store yesterday. And if the buzz around the new "man-girdle" is any gauge, men are just as anxious to strut their stuff in form-fitting clothing as women. "We've received more than a dozen calls in the last three days from customers asking us when it's going to arrive," said David Labrecque, divisional manager for Holt's menswear department. "It's done very well in Europe and that's why we picked it up," he said. Labrecque, who describes his physique as "average for a 47-year-old," gave the undershirt a test drive earlier this spring and said it improved his posture – and his profile. "People who saw me wearing it definitely said there was a noticeable difference," he said. The design, which uses the criss-cross techniques of physiotherapy taping to lift and separate the shoulders, supports and compresses the torso. "It takes a little bit of getting used to because it is fairly tight-fitting," Labrecque acknowledged. But he said the garment's body-slimming features shaved inches off his 5-foot 9-inch, 180-pound frame. "Combine that with better posture and you definitely look better," he said. The high performance undershirts will sell for between $90 and $98. Body firming briefs by the same manufacturer will sell for between $50 and $65. Xigasho Metrosexuality has acquired a complete new meaning. Waa waasheen dadkaan.

The man found the doctor who wrote the letter: Ninka(the man) waxa uu helay dhakhtarkii warqada qorey. Nuunka, dhaqtarka is not a 'shay' wax ah, so ma isticmaali kartid 'waxa' erey in that sentence. 'Waxa' wax shay ayaa loo isticmaalaa, ee dhaqtar ama qof shay ma noqon karo koley saa u garto ani. Hadduu waraaqda heli lahaa haa markaas 'waxa' waa isticmaali kartaa.

at Aaden Seylac. Afsoomaaligaaga saas muu heersare u yahay. Waaw. The letter the man read is long. The doctor wrote the letter the man read. The man who read the letter is dead. The man found the doctor who wrote the letter. So far I assume you have a rudimentary knowledge of Soomaali language, including the letters 'c' and 'x' and how they are used differently in Soomaali language. If I try to translate in a basic way of your four sentences, here we go: The letter the man read is long. Ninka waraaqda uu aqriyey wey dheertahay. The doctor wrote the letter the man read. Waraaqda uu ninka aqriyey waxaa qoray dhaqtarka. The man who read the letter is dead. Wuu dhintay ninkii aqriyey waraaqda (or waraaqdii). The man found the doctor who wrote the letter. Ninkii wuu helay dhaqtarkii qoray waraaqda.

Adiga H$M ma dharka labiska inaa kasoo gadatid u tagtaa? Meeshaas dhar labis ma laga gato, wax jirana ma'aha.
