Oh the Somali Language...

Djiboutian version of somali is far better . Favourite word is cat! Yanyoor!!!! We say Biiset, which sounds better but yanyoor always puts a smile on my face

I do have to say, 'I love you' in somali sounds like a death threat. Wan Koo ( don't know how to spell the rest) One time, during ramadan I was at the masjid staying overnight. This little kid was bothering me the whole night for me to tell him a swear word in somali. So I told him, I love you in somali and he believed me. He was screaming I love you the whole night to everyone he saw. The next night, right as I stepped in, he said in a really mad face, I hate you in somali. I guess some kid told him he was saying I love you instead of a cuss word. really funny. Imagine little kid screaming Naya Wan Koo....

Salaamu Alaykum

walaalo sidaana loo qoraa "I love you" in Somali " waan Ku Jecelahay", waan ka Xumahay waxa Ku dhacay Wiilka yar, probably he kept saying....waan ku necebahay......which means I hate you! Starting from Today..I will be your Somali Teacher........ any students raise your hands dont be shy..its only £5 a week, My personal bank details will fellow shortly and the registration forms.

May Allah keep us on the right path.

Salaam

Once we went to the masjid and I met this somali sister and she was really sweet mashallah!! That was the first time i think that i ever met with a somali!! And we started to talk and get to know each other better!! Well anyway i said sumthing that i guess she either thought was funny or cool cuz' she laughed and at the same time said sumthin' in somali that i really don't remember real good!! And i don't think that i can right it!! It sounded cool though and when i asked her what it meant she didn't tell me!! She just said its sumthin you say when you think
sumthin is cool!! :confused: :confused: :confused: I was like *Okaaay*:confused: But i am still wondering what it means!!
I want to try and right it!! I probably wont' spell it right since i don't know how to right in somali but i want ya'll to tell me what it means k?

I think it goes sumthin' like: *Isee sisintah*:confused: Unsure bout the spelling but i think thats how it sounded!! :sister:

Somali is such a funny language.. I fell in love with it the first time I heard two somalis talking.. I thought they was arguing and I asked my friend, 'Why are they yelling?' She said, Yelling? What are you talking about? That's how we talk.. COOL MAYYYN!
Anyways, feeri/fiiri means what? And if I wanna say, 'Hey beautiful' do I say Hey/haye qurux or quruxlay.. and is it quruxlow when its for guys?

jazakallah khayr

Feeri means "Look" People always tell me somali is so quick like we're rushing it :confused: khair inshAllah
