I hate the word dhaanyeer. My father used to call me that when I was in trouble again.

 

But I noticed that white people crack up when they hear the word "dhuuso" especially 'dh'. Funniest sounding word in the Somali vocabulary.

To my horror I've found myself in surfer speak territory lately. I caught myself saying ...like totally a lot.

 

Darling also pops up quite frequently. Yes it is usually patronising, but it's very useful for when I forget people's names or when I can't be bothered to remember them.

 

I also tend to say "I'm a laydeeee" very often for no reason at all. smile.gif

I have a colleague who never stop using the word "Cool", Ok fine I can get it when its said 4 something cool but why its used for the unacceptable things too. Maybe they get used to this word.

 

Wiilo, talking about "Dear"; I just cant digest that word anymore. It really lost its beautiful meaning, now even your enemy will call you "Dear".

 

Some people use "Wallahi" for everything & anything.

Every few weeks I over-use some word or other. Right now I'm over-doing, 'wow', 'amazing', 'instinct'.

 

Old-time favourites are: beautiful, funky, oh, love, awful, disgusting and boll*cks(I know better but it won't go away). Jay-eleven understands, hehe. ;)

I don't use anything for my sentences, I control every word I say before it comes out of my mouth, example, if I wanna say "heey" I have to do four steps:

 

1- waa ka fakkiraa marka hore waxaan dhihi lahaa

2- waa go'aansanaa inaan dhihi karo eraygaas,

3- waa miizaamaa haddii dhihi karo eraygaas,

4- kaddib waa dhahaa erayga si taxaddar iyo weyrax la'aan

 

practically, that is what I do smile.gif

One of the phrases I like and still lingers in the Somali lingo is ; 'kow-dheh'

it is ironic no matter how much you tell it is still 'kow' never beyond...
