SOL Dictionary

Recommended Posts

Diamante   

asalaamu caleykum,

 

sitting bored at home, i was sniffing through the pages of my dusty english-somali dictionary.

So i got this new idea, how about we make our own SOL dictionary. You can post a somali word you have just found the meaning to, or if you heard a phrase of which you'd like to know the meaning.

 

I'll start:

 

xod xodasho- flirt

 

(used to hear this word for like always, but i thought it meant diggin something up redface.gif )

Xarago   

Xarago = dressing smartly, chic.., stylish

dhadhan = dumb

Maandhow = son..eg: refering to a young boy (no necessarily your son). However it is rude to use it against an elder

 

Qoron = ?

Xoogsade. Cagaarshoow is called yellow fever. Yellow fever when full blown causes liver damage and is known as juandice.

 

Still waiting on an answer on Wiyeer
