Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted May 4, 2013 Ereyada badankooda meeshaan lagu magacaabay Afsoomaaliga ereyo u dhigmo ayuu u leeyahay, laakiin dad qaarkood garashada Afsoomaaligooda ayaa yar. Intee iyaga ku ekaan lahayd garashada ayee Afsoomaaliga ku tilmaamaan in uu yahay af dhiman. Tusaale ahaan ereyada meeshaan lagu sheegay oo Afsoomaaliga ku jiro: saxan (plate) = dhoob Qaxwo (coffee) = bun (still used in Afmaayga) raysal wasaare (prime minister) = wasiirka koowaad (haa, ereyga 'wasiir' naftirkiisa ayaa Carabi ah, waala ogyahay) maxkamad (court) = garsoor qaali (judge) = garsoore qalin (pen) = sheyqore/sheydhige hawo (air) = leer (still used in Afmaayga) sarkaal (officer) = ciidan gaadhi = baabuur/fatuuro laangadhe = jiis kursi = gambar Ard (ground) = dhul saqaaf (roof) = jiingad/baraako Kawiyat (Iron) = bir maqli (frying pan) = birtaawo waraaq = xaanshi kitaab = loox (Loox wax walba wax lagu dhigo la dhihi jiray, including kan qoriga ka sameysan) Iyo kuwa kale inta aan lagu sheegin, sida: alwaax = qori albaab = irid macalgo = qaaddo ammaan = nabad sharaf = heybad ixtiraan = dhowrid qabri = xabaal farxad = reyn reyn adduun = if macalin = barre madarasa = dugsi ________________ Seriously, biibol, afkiina Soomaaliyeed barta. Your own limitation is not the limitation of Afsoomaaliga. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
