Do we really say "Ooga Booga Shooga"

Recommended Posts

I was surfing the net and came across a funny post that says when Somalis say

"ooga booga shooga dooga" they mean establish comprehensive trauma recovery. Surprisingly enoguh even google translate says that

ooga

 

With my limited Somali language knowledge i could tell there is something wrong,i even got the nerve to ask google to remove this non-sense translation ?

 

If you agree with me, then would you join me and send a feedback to google asking them to remove this translation.

 

bless you

Hey dude, you could be partially correct.

 

The sentence is wrong , but two of the words could mean:

 

Oog = Salaada Ooga= establish prayer.

Doog= Xanuunkii waan ka soo Doogtay= I did recover from the illness.

Shoog= not Somali.

 

Feel better?
