I'll try translating the above ''You ruined the Game! Somali people simple can't follow simple instructions, It's like they almost compete on who breaks the rule''. Alright, Attention! Can you all please read my first post before you just post in this thread (As some people have went off). Lets try to follow the rules. You have to post the English meaning of the Somali word the person prior you posted, followed up with a new Somali word so the next person can continue the game with a new answer. Easy Peasy!=) Since I answered Macalinka's post it's now my turn to post a Somali word. Naxriis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
