^^^iyaa, dadka saas miyaa loggu dhiibaa. Maskiinka mid sujui oo saqiir suujis lagu hayo ayuuba ku hadlaayee :D Misa anaa fahmay, niyadaad u dhiseysaa?

 

As for me, kolba kaan doono umbaan ku hadlaa. I'm quite indifferent about which one the nomads use.

Nafisa.... ma aragtay sida niyada loogu dhisaayo...waligay ma arkin tasoo kale....lol

 

She- what money are u demanding now??? kaale marla arko refund baa rabtaa??? loooll :D

 

LIke everyone else, many of us use the street somali language when we are talking with our peers/ families but when it comes to writtin jiqdee nagu tahay...Sababtoo ah, we either haven't being to somali school or lived somewhere Baadiyo lol jks....So those who are saying Maxaa iskaga yeelesiin...listen it ain't like we went to a Somali school all of our lives therefore don't expect many of us to write like we are journalist from BBC. However, I love speaking somali more than english...keeps me love my own mother tongue more than anything else...but i noticed dat i like inaa somali iyo ingariiskii isku shubshubo like mashaari loool....what am i sayin...but what can i say i prefer writting in english thought.. I know it's a crime to say that but lets hope the punishment isn't worst as it is now......

Let me see if I can drop a complicated piece of af-soomaali art.

 

 

Hadde maandhooyin waa Ilaahay mahaddiis inaad afkiinnii hooyo u bareerteen, waxaanna idinku guubaabinahayaa inaad halkaa ka sii waddaan sidii aad ugu babardhigi lahaydeen xanuunka idinku soo fool leh. Waxaan kaloo idiin rajaynahayaa inaad ku wareertaan madax xanuunna ka qaaddaan lahjadaha kala duwan ee uu Eebbe ku manaystay luqaddeenna barkaysan.

 

Waa iska habaar waalide waxba haka nixina yaryarkaygiiyoow.

 

Guul iyo caano.

Kay BBCda kaga hadlaan sis .. not that I'm able to speak like that..I have a really odd Somali accent. laakin, even with the standard version you still get a local hint attached to it - but waala is fahmayaa nonetheless.

 

It takes me about two / three reads to understand what some nomads say - thats why you hardly ever see me responding to Somali posts - wakhti aan toban jeer wax ku akhristo ma haysto.

 

I haves to say raula, I find your sujunised xamari really cute lol - waad iga qoslisaa mar mar - lol ha xanaaqin dee - am complimenting you huuno.

Raula abaydiis waad fasaxantahay, u r free go after who ever u like. but who ever tells you, u speak a language or a diolect that is more suited for kids... or laughs at u, is the real jaahil person. go ahead and be proud sujui. if u don't want nin reer soomaali go after the Kenyans they all same...

Actually, most Somali words dropped here are conversational words which are not difficult to comprehend. Now when it comes to reading poetry, articles and such..I employ the help of my parents...reason being that Somali vocabulary is deeply rooted, and unfortunately its hardly ever used in conversations. Therefore, I'm in the same boat as Athena, Nomad, and others.

 

Btw, I always knew how to read somali but actually practiced writing it via MSN mssger.
