Geel_jire Posted March 7, 2008 ^ in the north of somalia. during construction there is two levels of labour involved the kuuli is purely physical labour does such things as mix the cement, filter the sand, carry the buckets etc. but the wastaad's job includes some skill he oversees the day to day progress makes sure the walls are straight, the bricks are watered untill they become hard enough, the face of the rock is smooth etc. in the south I only hear of fuundi..... which i think is equivalent to kuuli Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted March 7, 2008 L0L@kuuli and wastaad. Xayaatadeey ma maqal. How do you say waiter in Somali? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geel_jire Posted March 7, 2008 ^ maybe because it is two different environments geographically. in the north most of the building is done by using huge slabs that are shaped like very large bricks it is the main job of the wastaad to carve the rock so it can be used in the building process. whereas in xamar the building rocks used are completely different much softer which probably negates the need for a wastaad in the first place.

Baluug Posted March 7, 2008 No one ever did explain why "dooro" was a bad word...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted March 7, 2008 Ok unless you all took up construction I don't see how this is helpful at all... Cadaan, don’t let anyone make you think ‘dooro’ is a bad word. As far as I know they’re cute little chickens. You can also use Digaag which sounds slightly more brutal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
