Mashallah, i have noticed that in this forum there are lot of somali ppl. Im somali sister, too (suprise ) 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 ). Imikana waan shaqeeyaa. Walaalayaal waxaan niga codsanayaa inaad idunkuna sidaas isku sheegtaan haddaad rabtaan ma aha khasab, Insha Allah.
Sister Xiaus, welcome on my behalf too. Unfortunately I dont visit this forum that often even if i wanted to. InshaAllah you will find a lot of beneficial articels

I'm more of a lurker really so I'm not around much either but Alhamdullilah, I've found plenty of gems and learn from them so it's all good. Btw, maxsanid for the welcome abaayo.
(I hope that I said that correctly because my Somali is deeeeeeeeeeeead. )
No we have a language of our own although some of the words are similar to Arabic.

Wa Caleikuma Salaam wa Raxmatullaahi wa Barakaatum, sis Muslimah and welcome
Thankx sister Rayyan for welcoming . Sis, i was to busy lately that i didnt have chance to see what is going on in this forum.
It is all right sis Xiaus take your time to know this forum better. And dont worry about your somali language you here to learn and we can help each other, InshaAllah.
^ lol that's the only somali word worth knowing really but I suggest you try learn the word 'nayaa' (female version of waryaa). Just be sure to dodge the flying sandals.

I always thought x = arabic 7 = h. Jazakallah.
Btw you guys, is saying Ilahi (somali way of saying 'Allah' SWT) disrespectful? I don't know but it sounds like a diminutive of Allah's glory and too 'cutesy'. I've also had minor arguments with people who didn't recognise the word after I said "Ilahi is my God" randomly one day and they subsequently thought I wasn't a Muslim and went as far to call me kaffir. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.

Is it better to say Allah?
As far as i know i dont think saying 'Ilahay' or 'Ilahi' is disrespectful. Its just another way of saying 'God' or 'Allah' they all have the same meaning. Although i think its best if we use the word 'Allah' rather than 'God' as 'God' can be associated with many things. If i remember rightly we had a discussion about this .
Yup found it :http://www.islamicboard.com/general/...h-not-god.html
ps- those people shouldnt call you a kaafir for saying that! subhanallah dont they know the consequence of that!
