assalam..
i speak english most fluently..and the language of sri lanka..sinhalese quite fluently..(shamefully not that well..but good enough)..i understand tamil well..but dont speak it..i study in pakistan so i'm learning some urdu and sindhi...i live with arabs and africans so i'm also learning arabic and some somali..
that's about it..
somali is a cute language...i like how they say 'hae' for 'what'
'ae waria!'
not sure exactly...they say it to guys like..'hey you'..the female version of it is 'naya!'..i think
oops...it always sounded like waria to me...(blushes beetroot red)....i live with somali friends...i also babysat for some somali kids for a month...me habarir
thanks...i noticed they use 'x' alot in written somali..i'm guessing they pronounce 'x' different..sah?
i think that the x is pronounced as a ha im not sure...i was born in somalia but raised in the UK after leaving when the war started...and i was only a baby so i cant remember and at home i speak english mixed with somali...its like when i went to somalia a few years back i came back speaking it fluently after two months....so erm i think i need to go back for longer and learn to write and read it properly to as well as learning to speak it properly....
oh..that explains it...'ha' features a lot in their sentences...i heard that most of the somalis live outside somalia..like the kids i babysat for were born and bred in the US...you ask them what their country is and they'll say 'america' and then i'll be like 'ha ha..no ..you're somali' and they're like 'no..we just speak somali..'...i know lots of baby words..like hoya..ana..cahdee...
