Mashaa'Allaah dad badaan oo Soomaali ah ba meeshaan ka buuxo, adigana af Soomaali fiicaan baad ii baran karta inshaa'Allaah. Waxan uu bahan ahay inaan kalimada af Soomaali badaan baro, waad ii baraan maha? :D
 
Salams, I dont know if we're over exaggerating but I dont think it's possible to learn a language especially the somali language in this type of environment(a forum), usually its better if theres a teacher,besides I dont think many would be committed to stay and teach also learn.
I think its better off we just ask questions if we have any on what some phrases or words mean. It would also be better if it was practical and we write down what we can and someone can correct it. This topic has been here for a while and there arent a lot of active members so I thought maybe we should make it more interesting. And any ideas are welcomed and also criticism.
 
Sida ugu fiican oo luqadda soomaaliga lagu barto waxaa waaye in aad marwalbo dadka in aad soomaali kula hadashid, waalidkiina la sheekeesta, Thats my advice:rolleyes:

:sl: Good idea, many people have a problem with tenses and not the actual words. For example:

Ahaa = was
Ahayn = wasn't
Ah = is

OR

Lahaa = Had
Lahayn = Hadn't
Lahaydeen = They did not have
Lahayeen = They did not

So it's not so much about not knowing, but the grammatical errors and the vocab needs to be expanded from besides ''ha'' and ''maya''. ;D

Abu Ilyas, :sl: ha waa ruunta aboowe, dadka oo afkood aqoon waayo walidkooda kula hadli meyaan markay aqalka dhex fahdiyaan.

;D ;D She told her brother that she would kill him.

And if you wanna say my name is...it's ''magacayga waa yusuf''. There is no need for ana, or aniga, since you're trying to say ''my name is yusuf'' and not ''I am yusuf'' lol.
 
oooh, so that's what it means
i remember one time i told my older sister "ana wa kudila"
and she goes... ima kudila ya fayce

I am not somali but Finnish sister. As my work I teach Finnish language to immigrants. Some my newest students are from Somalia and most of them and I haven´t any common language together. Could somebody advise me about some simple english-somali dictionary, so I could collect some useful words from there using with my students.

your sister

im not somalian but a close brother of mine is, i know abit about the somalian food such as anjeel :D looks yummy.
 
:sl:

Thanks about your help. I have list of most needed words in my PC at work, so I will send them to you tomorrow. Those are just simple everyday-words which are needed speacially for a person who has just moved to strange country and starts his living there.

This would be a great help for my students.

:D

assalamu caleykum.

I am very happy to see so many somalis on the forum. I thought i was the only one lool.

anyways my somali writing could use a little work lakinse waan dhadaleyaa so ha ila yabina. lool

anyways thank for the thread.:D
 
:sl:

I'm Somali but my Somali is very weak, it can be very very embarrassing at times, I only speak Somali to my immediate family members. But inshallah I'm working on it, but because there are many different dialects, and Somali was a oral language up until the 70's it very hard to find suitable material to support my development and improvement.
