back to how it was!

 

partypooper

Walaaley, this is not a case of being a party pooper. It makes sense that we try to kill two Shimbiro with one dagax(if you get my drift? ).

 

party pooper = Bashaal burburiye.

 

Now it your turn: Defeatist!...Like Scheherazade refuses to confront her defeatist attitudes and understand that her pursuit for general knowledge is placed at risk by not taking up the latest challenge in this thread.

[sheherazade]

defeatist: wixii Sheh la murmay more than once.

 

There. LoL.

 

Psyche

[Mr. Somalia]

^

Maad iska tiraahdid wixii haween oo dhan la murma.

 

Psyche= Qalbiga

 

New word: Ego?

[sheherazade]

Psyche iyo qalbi maxaa isuu keenay? Are you in loof?

[Mr. Somalia]

^

I am, but that's besides the point. If my translation wont suffice, how else would you define 'Phyche' in Af Soomaali without harking back to Greek Mythology?

[sheherazade]

Oh my I didn't know the story, just read it on wiki, very sweet. I don't really care about the Somali word for the psyche I was referring to, thanks for the story-fix. Wish it would put me to sleep, it's very late.

[Mr. Somalia]

Have you tried drinking a glass of warm milk? That usually does it for me.

[sheherazade]

^all I'll need is a bib and a high chair then! Still up, hungry and achy but no sign of being seduced by sleep. Botheration. I need to be clear-headed tomorrow. Today even. Ahh.

[Mr. Somalia]

Here watch this silly clip (about 8mins)...It sucks and it will hopefully bore you to sleep.

[Che -Guevara]

^Get room.

Laughing my as's off = dabada ayaan ka koodooyaa/qoslaayaa.

The world of languages you can't have literal translation all the time. Haddaan kuu jilciyo

qosol baan la dhacay

baa ku habboon Laughing my *** off...... unlike as you put it up there. okay ya MMA.

Destiny

Destiny - calaf?

^Macalin waa inaad wax soo qortaa markaad ka jawaabto su'aasha, duh. La qabso sharciga casriyeysan beeralaynimada badan naga daaf.

 

Next word:theorist

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Hadda kahor ayaa qaamuus Soomaaliyeed ku arkay micnaha Afsoomaaliga ama ereyga u dhigma ee ereyga 'theory.' Wuxuu qaamuuskaas u micneeye 'qaacida.'

 

Marka haddaa raaco qaamuuskaas, theorist waxaa la dhihi karaa 'qaacidoyahan?'

 

Intaa iloowin, here is my word:

 

Punctual.
