"Kafoheleki"(how are you) to a girl and "Kafoheleka" to a guy. So Eritreans greet one another in a butchered Afcarabi. Darn it. Keyfa xaalak kulahaa. Anyway, kafeexaleeki to you too.

Threads like this fits trolling and inflammatory. You should well known that. I let you pass on this. However, why don't you stick with one small picture under your signature? You have every right to mess up your threads that you initiate, but not at expense of others that I want to read. Baliis, remove some pictures from your signature. I wanted to inform you this the last couple months, and still you are adding one after another. You are abusing the quality of the forum, you should have known that. If you want those pictures to be seen, dedicate it to a thread and re-post it every day without ruining everybody's threads. That is your right.

You guys should have listened what the "Information Minister" Jangeli said today on an interview on Canada's premier public broadcasting show on CBC, As It Happens. The interviewer, Carol is her name, bless her, at one time even couldn't stand qashinka uu ku hadlaaye that she couldn't control, blurting, "You keep saying Alqaacida members were killed, yet admit you don't have exact information. What about the people? The locals?" [Go on their site, try listening. I think it will be there until tomorrow's show.] Eeh, een...aa kasoo hartay. :mad: :mad: Walaahi qof aan Soomaali ahayn, aanan Muslim ahayn ayaa saas ugu damqaday, kii Soomaaliga isku sheegaaye, dowlad isku sheega ahaa, official isku sheega ahaana sidii shisheeye camal u hadlaaye. Shisheeyihii hakaa damqadaan, sokeeyehiina hakugu farxaan. Aakhiro samaan.

I was going to say Eritrea as well without seeing other posts. But I did read. Anyway, welkam. And a bit caution: Do not mention the word 'Tigrey' if you do not want glaring eyes.

I am not into qabyaalad, the mirror you are looking yourself don't assume others form that image as well. We don't think alike, not all of us qabyaalad qurunkeeda caabudo; not all of us kusoo koray ama wali joogo guri qabyaalad laga worship gareeyo. Haddee Baydhabo nabad tahay iyo haddee ahayn, I see Xabash dalkeyga heysto, do you? Hadduu Qanyare warlord ahaa [it was you who was discrediting him yesterday using Gaashaanle Xasan Daahir Aweys' words and praising today, calling the other guy terrorist], I don't care; I only see Xabasho occupying Soomaaliya and worse, Xamar, led by The Father and Mother of Stooge and Tool of Sanaawi's dog, do you? I wasn't who called wadaadada yesterday "terrorists," even if I disagreed many of them. Neither am I, unlike you, calling them along with masaakiinta nomadska ah iyo poor fishermen of Baajuuni islands "terrorists." Wuxuu Shariifka yahay ama ahayn, I don't care. Qabyaaladnimo ku difaac ayaa rabtaa. I won't. I only see Xabash, do you? Speaking of novice, one advice: Stick with one principle, baliis. Your flip-flopping of wherever the Stooge of Sanaawi goes is too much. I don't like useless muran, so I am out. Nabad iyo caano.

Jini maa kugu soo degay? Shaydaanka iska naar. Did the Father and Mother of Stooge of Sanaawi waxaas kaa keenay. Well, he IS, and more than it. The Mother and Father of Stooge, Puppet and Tool is none other than Sanaawi's old dog, madaxyare madaxweyne ku sheeg. Being a stooge of Xabash and running on their tanks and aged airplanes to Xamar is the lowest ebb a Soomaali can reach down, a capital S that is, that cannot even dare to talk Soomaalinimo iyo ka hadalkeeda. Every dog has a day, and Sanaawi's dog has his day, but poorly armed Xabash army will never be there forever in Filla Soomaaliya, will they? PS, Shariif Xasan wuxuu yahay shuqulkeey ma'aha. Neither do C/qaasin. Iyaga u sheeg. Every Soomaali u taagan dano Soomaali I am with them. Not Sanaawi's stooge dog madaxa loo salsalaaxo, "You go boy. Bomb your people, boy. Kamoon, boy, say they are terrorists, boy."

Jimcaale, aawey dadkii bootada kuu sheegi jiray. Xabash is occupying and ruling Kismaayo today, no allegations needed. I think it is wonderful news maanta yaah? LoL. Oromo, my #$%@

Today a new front opened up in the exhausting and hope draining civil war. Instead of talks or reconciliation we have a new alliance made up of the warlords who are now fighting "Terrorism" in Somalia. 1. Who asked them to fight this war. Theirs is an axis of evil.2.When will the people of Somalia learn? War is not the way... Allah we seek your divine guidance, save my people from themselves.. Oh, the wonders of time. "Terrorism" was in quotation marks, in bold, unfortunately, unlike today. Oh, qabyaalad changes danta markii la leeyahay, and nothing is spared. The warlords -- "axis of evil" -- are now wonderful gentlemen who 'liberated' their lands from the, God forbid, 'terrorists.'

Who is "bent on destruction" now? Who is calling hapless wadaado "terrorists" now? And who is arresting the poor Tabliiqs in Xamar now? Who was quoting Daahir Aweys to discredit Qanyare? And who is, including madaxyare madaxweyne ku sheeg, gloating American bombs to poor nomads and masaakiinta malaayga ku nool in Jubbadahoose? So Qanyare, "a man bent on descruction" was right that there were "terrorists" afterall, aha? Talk about 'flip-flopping.'

The warlords are for once all united. Mr Dheere, Qaynyare, Yalaxow have made a front against the interest of peace. Its important to note that for once that those who support them can only hide behind the clan, for the simple fact the men who once hated Jowhar for several reasons are now comfortable to meet in it. Is he, Max'ed Dheere, still "useful" to The Father and Mother of Puppet and Stooge of Sanaaw? "Still serving/served his purpose" whatever it was and is? Markaas ayee dal ayaan dan ka leenahay dadka waxaan qoraayo. And they dare to call others "flip-flopper.'

The stooge Geedi, the alleged Soomaali [i cannot fathom in uu yahay Soomaali, wax kale sheega] never surprises me. A few days ago halgamiyaashii dagaaladdii Soomaali Galbeed usoo halgamay dalkooda iyo dadkooda intuu meel qorax miiran fadhiisiiye, see u taagnayeena daalay, oo iska wada fadhiistay, and guarded by Xabash. To make it worse, he uttered wax aan la aamini karin: "Waa inaad iska iloowdiin dagaaladdii aad la gasheen Itoobiya, hada wixii ka dambeeyana inaad ogaatiin walaalaheena inay yihiin." Now, yesterday wareego ayuu soo saaray, as reported by Midnimo.com. Snippets of wareegtada. Wareegto uu xalay Magaalada Muqdisho ka soo saaray Ra’iisal Wasaaraha Soomaaliya Cali Maxamed Geeddi ayaa waxay fareysa dhamaan Maleeshiyaadka hubeysan Soomaaliya inay tagaan goobaha lagu cayimay wareegtadan. [snip] Dhamaan dhalanyarada hubeysan waxay mari doonaan baaritaan Caafimaad iyagoo la weydiin doona waxaa ay aaminsan yihiin tusaale Midnimada Soomaaliya iyo in kale waa sida hadalka loo dhigay. Dowladda waxay diyaar la tahay ayuu ku yiri Geeddi wareegtadiisa inay bixiso dhamaan wixii qarash ah oo ay u baahan yihiin Maleeshiyaadkaas waxaana la siin doona tababar Ciidamadeed. Qof Soomaaliyeed miirkiis juusto yihiin miyaa la weydiinaa midnimada dalkiisa haddee dan kale jirin? What is next, Soomaaliya ma jiraa qofkii aaminsan? Dalkaaga iyo dadkaaga ma jeceshahay? I bet kuwa midnimada aaminsan in laga jari doono leenka. Taloow waxyaabahaan la isku qarinaayo inaanan fahmi doonin mee moodeen, marna Xuseen Caydiid, marna afhayeenkooda Diinaari, hadana asagii wasiirkakoowaad isku sheega ahaa. Perhaps I am overreacting, too paranoid, I guess. Laakiin dad dalkooda Xabash ka gaday, oo the father and mother of puppet u eh, I will have every right to look from every angle each word they try to utter.

Originally posted by Puja: ^^ luuq and jiiro have the same meaning. Dadka waa iska muran jecelyihiin, walaashiis. Waxba ha u bixin. Jiiro iyo luuq iska dhaaf xataa gaal iyo geel hal erey ah iskumid ma'aha uu keenay, xataa micnaha iyo meeshee gaal kasoo jeedo muuna garan, sababta ugu wacan waxee tahay muran aan micno ku fadhin ayuu wadaa, mida koowaad ahba af lahjad ah uuna garan, mid uu ku hadil karin, uu isku dhexwalaaqooyaa. Tusaale, ereyga gaal and why it acquired to mean 'unbeliever' later in Soomaali language, he completely has no knowledge of it or no tixraac. If he did, he wouldn't have separated gaal and geel to mean different things. Gaal has had one original meaning, which is geel, and it predates geel, which derived from gaal. The speakers of Afmaay use it to this day. So are our cousins Soomaali Aboow [Oromo]. Why it later acquired to mean anyone who wasn't Islamically believer, baliis read on. In ancient times, the only closest shisheeye Soomaalida knew and interacted daily with were Oromada, who were then and still known as Gaallo -- a nickname they acquired because of their bountiful geelka ay dhaqdaan. Since being the only shisheeye Soomaalida knew that time, they called them their name, Gaallo. It never had any religious connotation in this early days. It, however, did indeed acquire some aspects of religious tone since a considerable Oromos were not Muslims and Soomaalida were becoming increasingly associated with Islaam. Thus, overtime, any newcomer to any Soomaali dhul was a 'gaal.' It later, too, went another evolution to specifically denote or refer European colonials who arrived. To this day, we have some Soomaalis who struggle to not name a Muslim caddaan gaal, since gaal and Europeans at one time were inseparable. Iam just rediscovering the language. It is beautiful and rich language. I don't know much May May, but I do understand if I listen well when people start talking it. My better half speaks May May even though she was born and raised in Xamar Caddeey. The May May itself I understand is very rich and diverse, and some dialects can't followed by your average Maxaa tiri speaker. There are so many dialects within Somali May May. Waa runtaa, runtii, Che. Soomaalida waa af aad u hodan ah. Unfortunately, not many of us realize or appreciate how deep our language is. This is why aan u dabagalaa Afsoomaali these days, anything to do with it. It is rich to find or create new words that need translations from other languages. The prefix and suffix of doon, diid, soor, weyn, gaab, dheer, is, war, san, ka, ku, sa-de, to say a few of them; Soomaali language, considering how underdeveloped and neglected it is, surprisingly can create any new word that needs to be translated, without ever needing borrowed foreign words. You know jaamacaddii Gaheyr had a kuliyad that was dedicated for creating newly scientific words or others that needed translated to Soomaali. Alas, we lost much of them. This kuliyad created the words such as warbaahin, warfaafin, wariye, wargeys, etc, to only illustrate how rich the prefix war is. It also created Kacaan words of 'hawlwadaag, hantiwadaag, hantisoor, wadajir...' [some of us unfortunately aren't comfortable, instead are happy to use foreign-based words like 'saxaafada,' instead of warbaahin; 'saxafi' instead of wariye; 'joornaal/jaraa'id,' instead of wargeys, to list a few examples.] Yes, also, Afmaay is as diverse as Afmaxaa. The easiest one is found at Afgooye, which, as the name of town indicates itself [Af-gooy] seems equal to consist both Maay and Maxaatiri words, though Afmaay slightly has a bit more original and the speakers call it still Afmaay. The more you go into interior, the purer the Afmaay gets until you reach Baardheere and Luuq. The purest Afmaay, it is said, is spoken not in Baydhabo -- which had a considerable Afmaxaatiri speakers before the war, though they as well spoke Afmaay, a one influenced by Afmaxaa -- but outside of it, villages and degmooyinka that encircle it. The closest Afmaxaatiri dialect to Afmaay is Afbanaadiri. It has so many Maay words that isn't found other Afmaxaa dialects. The closest second is afka Muuse Suudi Yalaxoow or Odey Cabdulle ku hadlaan, I don't know waxaa ku dhaho, inkastoo dadka qaarkiis dhahaan Afxaayoow, which is offensive.

Another so-called 'president' giving his dues -- siyaaro to Addis Ababa. The other madaxyare madaxweyne ku sheeg just did it the other day.

Che, qofkaan markii beentii hore lagu qabtay, which surely made him quite quiet, he proposes another blatant been to mislead dadka aan waxba ogeyn. Soomaaliya did NOT have two official Soomaali "languages" in '60s, a language that did not even had orthography by then. Afmaay was played on national, though local, Idaacadda Xamar [Radio Muqdisho], a decision made by ruling nationalist SYL in order cool some qabiil-based parties that advocated a greater region autonomy and federalism, prominent one being C/qaadir Soobe's XDM. The Kacaan regime discontinued and tried to centralize competing lahjado, especially Afmaxaa and Afmaay. And since it wasn't a democratic, it could do as it wished. Soomaaliya, however, now has official Soomaali language [not Soomaali languages] recognized in the interim constitution of this dowlad ku sheeg functions in that was made in Nairobi. It is on there, read it. This time it specifically mentions Soomaali being an official language, which is Afmaay and Afmaxaa . What is "Soomaalinized" when both are one language? Is he telling us "Shaatigaduud" is a "Soomaalinized" name? Or Xaabsade [Haabsade in Afmaay] is a "Soomaalinized" name? Or that Saransoor [suronsoor] is "Soomaalinized" name? Or or gobollada iyo degmooyinka Baay [a tree name], Luuq [Luug, an Afmaay word and used by Southerners as well, not jiiro of Afmaxaa], Xudur [Hudur], Waajid [Weejid], Ceelbarde [Eelbardi], Afgooye, Baardheere, Daynuunaay [which was lately in the news, pronounced Dooynuuneey in Maay, however], Saakoow, Qoryooleey, Kuunyobaroow -- all named by locals, who speak Afmaay, long before there was dowlad Kacaanka timid the scene. In fact, Afmaay, being an interior, saved Afmaxaa from the overwhelming from shisheeye words that diluted much of Afmaxaa. Such an example is horseed [vanguard]. 'Seed' is a Maay word, meaning "going forward." Its closest Afmaxaatiri counterpart is hormuud/mood. There is a reason why you find in everyday use the Afmaay words hiraab [morning], har-ti [man], gaal [camel] and some others I can't recall now in Afmaxaatiri qabiil names, but not in Afmaxaa dialect itself, which lost them long ago. That alone tells you Afmaay's preservation rate is much stronger than Afmaxaa. Perhaps Afmaay "Soomaalinized" Afmaxaatiri, no?

Aalaada aada :cool: :cool: :cool: [XaaaX] Can middle-aged Christina Aguilera shake like that? Those are true Reer Shabeelle, who mastered the genuine art of Kabeebeey. Don't ever mess with them when it comes with true art of niiko. Shaxaariinta ku dhexjiro aaba igu daran, kaba daran aniga.

Candho Qoys Rooblaan or rooblane. Che, intee ka keentay ereyadaan? Are you sure 'candho qoys' is Afmaay, and not Afmaxaa, since Maay doesn't have the "c" letter. Qoys is qoys nooh. 'Rooblaan.' Amee tahay Afmaxaa oo 'roob la'aan' laga wado? Ma fahmin ereyada, ee hubso dhawaaqa iyo spellingka inay isleeyihiin.

This thread is closed. Thank you. I'm sad to be forced to close this topic about the unfortunate plight of lasoo wajahday Soomaali Aboow [Oromada]. Unfortunately, caayda wali waa isdabasocotaa.

Dadweynoow hala kala xishoodo. Baliis, stick with the initial topic, not personal insults back and forth. Don't force us to close this thread. If another insulting post about the members of this forum ku xigto after this warning message, it will completely deleted, not edited, regardless what else it contains.

Watch Sahro Dawo in old days of Durdur. She is singing at SOS Children's Hospital, a favourite spot singers used to like inay ku qaadaan meeshaas in the old days of nabadda. Her Soomaalinized Eritrean husband is at the back; waa kan garaacaayo electric keyboard, which killed him maskiinka Eebba ha u naxariistee. His brother also kan kataarada garaacaayo waaye, with stripe shirt.

MMA, I really truly hope you are proud of yourself for posting this innocent person here and sharing it out in public. Can't a brother admire his walaashiis, waliba mid almost a public figure ah and upcoming singer that is. I am not posting a private picture, you know, for she is almost a public person. She also strikingly looks like my own sister markee yarayd. My intention certainly wasn't in loo gafo my sister Ubax. To those few who are wax baas sheegoyaan, aflagaadada wado, shaqa yeesha, baliis. Quruxdeeda Eebbe ayaa ugu hibeeye, mise maseer aa idinka haayo? Don't worry hadaadan saas ahayn idinka, jiilkiina might be. Duceysta, instead of aflagaada.

Baliis take a time to watch these recently taken clips from the central, VIP, meeshii faraska magaalada ahayd, ugu bilicda iyo muuqaalka fiicnaa ee Xamar. Meelihii wasaaradihii [boostada, Waxbarashada, Ganacsiga...], wakaaladihii, madbacadihii [Madbacadda Soomaaliya], safaaradihii [Ruushka, Talyaaniga...], bankiyadii ugu caansanaa, hoteeladii [Hotel Jubba], baararkii [Baar Fiat], iskooladii caanka ahaa, sida Bartamaha oo aan dhagaha ka maqli jiray lee, taaladii Daljirka Dahsoon, daahirihii Jirde Xuseen iyo Uunlaaye ku wada yaaleen. [seeing daartii Jirde Xuseen, Savoy Centre, oo wali taagan, though never saw waagaa yaraa nabada jirtay.] Meelahaas oo ahayd meelaha Xamar ugu ammaan xumaa intii laga burin qabqabliyaasha. Maki Xaaji Banaadir oo qiiroonaayo asaga Xamar kaamira la dhexmaraayo.

Waxaa igu daran markee Maxkamadaha ku jeedeen goballada Bari, dad inta ku jiro oo neutral iska dhigi jiray -- no longer though, shaatigooda banaanka soo dhigay -- aad ugu carooday lasoo booday meel "peaceful" ah, meel "barwaaqo" ah ayee inay qasaan rabaan, oo qabyaalad ayee dusha ka wataan oo deeggaano kale ayee rabaan inay qabsadaan. That was fine. How come there is no flip from deeggaanadii "nabada" ka jirtay markii lasoo weeraray, kamid yihiin Beledweyne, Cadaado, Ceelbuur, Jowhar, Balcad iyo Xamar qof juuq iyo jaaq yiri jirin? How come markii deeggaanadaan lasoo weeraray with Xabashada kaarahooda, diyaaradaha miigga iyo ciidamadooda qaabka daran, oo since dagaalka isku badalay difaac to weerar juuqdii iyo jaabkooda la waaye. Not a stir of peaceful waaye deegganadaan maxaa loo weeraraa. Illeen qabyaalad, as Jimcaale sadly realized today, waa ka awood badantahay Eebbaheena Sare. Ar maxaa wadaad la iska dhigay, yet Maxkamadaha ayaa kasoo horjeedaa oo dowlad ku sheeg Xabash gaal madoow wato ayaan raacaa because of qabyaalad qurunkeeda. Iyo kii waxbartay asagana ku ganban jiray they, Maxkamadaha, are "rushing," they are overdoing this and that. All this wax ka daran ayaa la wada arkay, yet la iska indhatiraa, a new motto ayaaba lasoo saaray: "Give them a chance to rule." To "give them a chance" rule a country airbombed by an arch-enemy Xabash, whom was brought by none other than those who should be given a "chance?" How can any Soomaali damiir leh give a "chance" the biggest stooges ever to grace Soomaalinimo ama Soomaali isku sheeg eh Xabash dhabta u saarantahay, diyaaradihiis ku rusheeye, give a "chance?" And why didn't we hear this phrase markee jireen Maxkamadaha "oh, let us give them a chance" to conquer the whole country? How come this sudden fascination didn't exist by then, especially iyagii oo dalka barkiisaba wada nabadeeye. Waxba yaala isku ganban, waxba dadka damiirkooda toosan qabyaalad lagu dacaayadeyn. Idinka ishubiya inay qabyaalada idinku raagtay iyo in kale. Heed these words: This dowlad ku sheeg is void and null, illegitimate, treacherous, most treasonable as far as Soomaalida, not Soomaali isku sheeg, are concerned. They will never able to rule Soomaaliya. Xabash '70s kaaro wato won't forever remain dhulkeena, awoodaas malaha. Waxba yaa been la isku sheegin. When that reality hits, don't change your tune against this sudden and newly found motto of "giving a chance" whoever emerges. [We had already seen this version since Maxkamadaha never was given a chance in this board who are now advocating this new found philosophy, but we want to see after this dadka shaatiga badalan doono.] Baliis don't then change your mind or declare the same idea of the secessionists you eagerly mock today. Oh, I can't wait to see a secessionist dad noqon doono, oo waa goosanay lasoo boodi doono when the reality hits on this not-so-far day.
