For the sisters and brothers who speak soomaali

[Samiira]

:sl:

Mashallah, i have noticed that in this forum there are lot of somali ppl. Im somali sister, too (suprise :D ) and i would like to get to know you, insha Allah. And at the same time learn the somali language with you. I know it is much easier to write english but let us try to write in somali islamic threads.
I can tell you that my somali is not that good but i will try, Insha Allah.

First let me introduce myself

Walaalayaal waxaan ahay inan soomaaliyeed oo diinteeda jecel, isguna dayeysana iney sii barato si wanaagsan, Insha Allah. Waxaana daganahay wadan ka mid ah wadamaha scandinaivia. Waxaan wadankaas dagnaa muddo 17 sanno ah. Alxamdulillah, waxaan ka soo baxay jaamacadda waxaana halkaas ka bartay kemistiriga ( im not sure if you write that way :D ). Imikana waan shaqeeyaa. Walaalayaal waxaan niga codsanayaa inaad idunkuna sidaas isku sheegtaan haddaad rabtaan ma aha khasab, Insha Allah.

scandinaivia

If you're writing in Somali, wouldn't it be Skaandanaviya... or something along those lines. Remember the letter 'C' is like the arabic letter: ع.

[Abdi Alfattah]

[Amina2]

wow this is cool. i don't know how to write somali but if i read enough of what you all are writing pretty soon i might know how.

[Intisar]

:w: Hageed joogta? Sanaad kee tahay?

Somali is not a hard language, once you get the hang of what letters represent what sounds you'll be good in no time. I learned how to read and write in Somali on the internet in less than 6 months and you can too.

[Amina2]

wacalaykumsalaam,
I hope you don't mind that i'm replying in english. i don't know how to write in somali yet. anyway i live in Ohio and i am 18 years old.

reading in somali is one thing but writing is just too hard for me. Inshallah i will learn it one day.

[Intisar]

reading in somali is one thing but writing is just too hard for me. Inshallah i will learn it one day.

:sl: It's really basic. The hard haa, or 7 in Arabic, is the letter ''x'' and the caa, or 3 in Arabic, is the letter ''c''. Those are the ones that people are mostly confused with, the rest are the same in English.

[Amina2]

actually thats the easy part for me. i understand it very well. its the double a's that confuse me. plus i speak a diff dialect of somali. Like af xamar(did i spell that right?)

[Samiira]

Yeah, sis Amina 2 you spelled right, see you know how to write :smile:. Practise a lot and off course we will help you, Insha Allah. By the way dont they teach in school how to read and write in somali?. The place i live we use to have a teacher who would teach us somali all the way to high school.

[Amina2]

I have never had lessons on writing Somali. what i know i learned from my parents and my parents aren't very literate. So my knowlege of the Somali language is very limited.

[Intisar]

actually thats the easy part for me. i understand it very well. its the double a's that confuse me. plus i speak a diff dialect of somali. Like af xamar(did i spell that right?)

:sl: Well that dialect is more Italian influenced, and I'd say the Northern dialect is more Arabic influenced, but the Somali is said to be the most pure.

[Amina2]

ok that make since. what language influenced Af maymay or eylaay(not sure if i spelled it right)

[Intisar]

:sl: Maba aqaan walle iyo bille, aniga maba fahmi af maay maay lakiin Eelayga ba af afkaas ku hadlaan, I don't know who else speaks it, sorry.

[amirah_87]

:sl:

Af maymay and eylaay? haven't heard of those dialects either..

[Intisar]

:sl:

Af maymay and eylaay? haven't heard of those dialects either..

:w: Eelay is a people, I think, and af maay maay is a language. I think Bantus speak it too.

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

(To Amirah) ^ Yeah, you're reer ruqoy (sp?), right? I'm... *keeps silent*.

Some dialects are awfully hard to understand. I know this one sister who sounds like she's speaking a different language, I can't remember where she's from though. Most of the Somali sisters can't understand her either.

[amirah_87]

:sl:

Oooh so eylaay are the people and may-may is the language? kool. Hoyo just told be those people live in baydaba (summin' like that)..

[amirah_87]

:salamext:

(To Amirah) ^ Yeah, you're reer ruqoy (sp?), right? I'm... *keeps silent*.

Ma'e, It's Waqooyi, not Ruqoy! ;D

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:sl: Lol Ruqoy kulaha, waa Reer Waqooyi.

Amirah, yep they live in the 'Baidoa' area. They're said to be really beautiful too. But every clan claims that. :okay:

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

Ok, no need to rub it in! It sounds like ruqooy when you say it, any way! *tries to redeem herself*

[Intisar]

:w: LOL You're so adoreable sis. :D No worries. I understand the Waqooyi dialect a little more to be honest, mostly because the Reer Xamar one is very Italian-influenced.

[amirah_87]

Lol Faizah! :rolleyes:

Xamare is very coarse when spoken might I say! and Reer waqooyis just love to shout alot! ;D

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:w: LOL You're so adoreable sis. :D No worries. I understand the Waqooyi dialect a little more to be honest, mostly because the Reer Xamar one is very Italian-influenced.

Yeah the waqooyi accent is influenced a lot by Arabic, mashaAllaah. Like the word millix, for example.

But I don't mind the Italian influence, since I think Italian is a nice language.

(To Amirah) How can that be when Arabic is more coarse then Italian?:rolleyes:

[Maimunah]

teach me somali plshhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

am irish lol

[m123]

assalamu alaykhum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,

mashallah so many somalians!!

[amirah_87]

Yeah, and did you know the Waqooyi dialect's also influenced by English and a pinch of Hindi too. :hmm:

And hey where'd you get off saying Arabic's more coarse than Italian! :argue: lol I'm so hurt, arabic ain't coarse at all! but, It may sound so if you don't understand it I guess.

[amirah_87]

assalamu alaykhum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,

mashallah so many somalians!!

Wa alaykum as salaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,

Yeah alhamdulillaah there's quite a few here. :)

Welcome to the forums m123, Hope you have a nice and beneficial stay.

[Intisar]

teach me somali plshhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

am irish lol

:sl: Lol naa beenaale, I coulda sworn that you're Soomaali. Be proud of your bariis-eating self. :D

The difference between Waqooyi and Xamari:

Waqooyi: ''Aryee dee walalo xiligan maxaa banaanka uu joogta! Belo!''

Xamari: ''Baabuur aan kuu haayo aboowe''

See, the difference between the two is that Xamaris sound more sweeter (probs cuz of all the macmacaan) and Waqooyi people sound more strong. ;D

[umm-sulaim]

waxaan rabaa inaan tago baladkayga inshaa'Allaah and speak fus7aa somali!!

ok see if you can guess what dialects these are:

walaashaydee anee kisto le aan qabaa noh

and

waar naga bayd wax aan ku heeyo ba iska yar, soco!

[Intisar]

:sl: First Xamari, second Waqooyi. :D

Inshaa Allaah in a couple of years I plan on buying my parent's a home in Somalia, and visiting there myself. I'm so jealous of some of my friends who've already visited Somalia. :(

[umm-sulaim]

hehe correct...

Me too, tabaarak Allaah they're very lucky!

May Allaah give you tawfeeq in doing so walaal *smile*

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

Yeah, and did you know the Waqooyi dialect's also influenced by English and a pinch of Hindi too. :hmm:

And hey where'd you get off saying Arabic's more coarse than Italian! :argue: lol I'm so hurt, arabic ain't coarse at all! but, It may sound so if you don't understand it I guess.

:wasalamex

Why are you offended, as-Somaaliyyah?:blind: If anyone should be offended, it's moi... coz' you dissed my dialect.:cry:

Arabic isn't coarse, but compared to Italian it is a lot more rough seeing as it's a semetic language.

Chill.:hiding:

Anyhoo... anyone noticed how I haven't spoken a word of Somali in here. Care to guess why?

[umm-sulaim]

I could attempt to anwer that question but I couldn't do that to ya *smile*

waan ciyaaraya walaal ha oyin haye deh *qosol*

Your somali is not baaaaaaaaaaad alhamdulillah...just keep practicing yeah
