Is the 1st of July one a joint affair?Two for the price of one miya? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Labadda gobol ee Waqooyi iyo Koonfur isku soo noqday, oo xoriyadooda buuxda helay, without bogus 'border' iyo gumeysigii. The day is Kowda Luulyo [First July]. Saas ayee Kowda Luulyo u qiimo badantahay than the South per se getting independence. That was why calanka baluugga laga suray at Hargeysa in 26th of Juun, since they too knew in calankaas laga suri doono Xamar in a just short few days later. Calanka baluugga was created in 1954 at Xamar, as a pan-Soomaali flag. It was the unofficial flag during the later years of trusteeship in the south and other colonized Soomaali territories. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So 26 June is not that important ??? walaalo Jacaylbaro 26 of june dabcan wa muhim. sayna muhim u aheen?

lol@awr raro, u have a way with words ma istidhi :rolleyes: ^Waa noqon lahaaye'e, meel aan dhiig ku galo aanan joogin. Just the other day, I was backing out from a parking spot when I almost ran over this kid; it was my passenger driver friend who alerted me to stop. I gave him shit for it afterwards, because he ruined my only chance oon dhiig ku galo to sit among friends in tgf ololo. subhanalaaah, we better put you away before you kill some one Anyhow,zafir for real u are that brother, or you are just fooling around?.. If u'r mubarak den congratulations, and keep in mind u have a long way to go, dont let anything or anyone for that matter stop you from reaching your goals. wa salaamu alaikum

Aaliya isn’t that itself a generalization? Isn’t romance personal? One woman might like red roses whilst another would prefer Oriental Lilies or Orchids? Or she might even be allergic to flowers? She might like Haribos more than chocolates? Or prefer long walks to tedious dinners? I think when a guy tries to apply a universal rule of what is seen as ‘romantic’ to all women he ceases to be romantic. One shouldn’t fall in the trap of Mr Romantic. Lily sister I didnt necessarily meant roses to be percise, it was just few examples I was giving. The bottom line is every women wants her man to appreciate her by showing, whether he brings roses or whateva else that she prefers. Bixi brother (I am sorry for calling u sis, the whole time I thought u were a sister, my sincere apology) perhaps there are somali women out there who wouldnt appreicate when a brother takes them out to a restaurant, but there is prolly something else that she would appreciate, he just has to figure out. As lily just said romance comes in many forms, it is whateva that woman appreciates and thinks is romantic, I am sure we all have our own personal expectations, u just gota give him hints wa salaamu alaikum

^^^Munira lol I was about to say the samething sis. bixi sis tell us what makes us (somali women) different??? I am sure all women regardless of their race want their men to be romantic, take them out for romantic dinner, bring them roses, chocolate etc wa salaamu alaikum

Xalima sis June 26 is when north of Somalia became independent of the British colony. Where July 1st is when Somalia became united under one republic, and when the south got independent. Happy independence days to ye all. Hope you will all enjoy your time with yr families and friends. Have fun while u at it wa salaamu alaikum

masha-allah mabruuk Moburuk, and may you succeed in life. wa salaamu alaikum

^^^I heard the same story taking palce in dubai lol People dont bother hiring servents or hire an ugly one qofkasta ka cararo, and make sure there is huge age gap, like she is in her late 50s lol wa salaamu alaikum

Nur masha-allah bro. This game sounds interesting, insha-allah I will try it with my parents and siblings some time, even though we barely get time, as Haneefah said familiaes are just pretty much busy nowadays and no one actually gets much of a family time. But, anyhow thanks, as always your posts are beneficial. Jazaka laahu khyr wa salaamu alaikum

Khalaf walaal I don't think parents are in a position to forbid their daughters from marrying the man of their choice. Whether a parent think the brother is compatible or not, the daughter has every right to marry whoever she picks as long as he is muslim. Do we disagree on that?? Parents only have to raise their children in the best way possible while they are young, but once they become old enough they will have to pursue their own choices. Facts on marriage show Case 2 are better and longer lasting marriages in particular for the female and she is protected and will be in good hands. You mentioned that arrange marriage works better for the most part. Even if that is the case, you will have to know most arrange marriages are within the families, and therefore the couple only stay together for the sake of their families? Don’t u think it is time they live for their own happiness? Why make some one else happy? Is it really worth it to live your life in a way just to please your parents? we are all aware most somali families only judge factors such as the man's qabiil and wealth. which is not a valid reason if we are to speak from relegious perspective. Such things are not of importance as shown in the quran: In chapter 49, verse 13: "Oh mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and then rendered you into nations and tribes so that you might know one another. Indeed the most honourable among you in the sight of Allah is he who is most pious." Hopefully, this would change your mind. NOOOOOO...Parents lived their lives, now let their children live theirs!!!!!!!!!! koolkat I agree with you , just would have to emphasize again that the person some one chooses must be muslim, any other factor is not significant. wa salaamu alaikum

Qaran = nation. i.e. qaranka somaliyeed Qadhaadh= bitter i.e. shaaraabaku wuu qadhaadhyahay, even though perhaps if u are reer hamar u would be like qaraar , like instead of the "dh" u will use "r"... Qaraar = resolution i.e. qaraar ba laga gaadhay. hope that helps wa salaamu alaikum

ciyaala suuq = street kids wa salaamu alaikum

Ciyaalka = the kids Ciyaalkeena = our kids Ciyaalkaanaa = what about those kids Ciyaaloow = kids Ciyaalkeenoow = our kids Ciyaalkaasba = even those kids Ciyaalkaanba = even these kids Ciyaalkeena = our kids Ciyaalkooda = their kids Ciyaalkee = which kids Ciyaalkiisa = his kids Ciyaalkeeda = her kids Ciyaalkaaga = your kids Ciyaalkeyga = my kids Ciyaalkaas = those kids Ciyaalkaan = these kids Ciyaalbaas = cursed kids lol aint sure. Ciyaalkeenoow II = our kids “II”= I have no idea what that means. wa salaamu alaikum

Rudy lol they couldnt figure out yr dilect eh? I wonder how u speak somali ? I bet it is like one reeer hamar word another reer waqooyi word. Keep it up though somalis are always digging for yr qabiil. Don't they have anything better to do? guess not. :rolleyes: loL@ child hood friend, bet he understood yr strange dilect. jacburiska wa isla fahanteen marka wa salamau alaikum

So puja admit it you just love da money, not the dude. The minute he loses his money for whatever reason, u will be like do I know u? Gurl we gonna add you to the list of halimos to avoid. wa salaamu alaikum

I would not want to generalize. However, sometimes I guess guys do prefer to feel superior to their girls. Therefore, going out with a dumb sister would boost their self esteem. Most smart girls don't have the best looks, and almost all dumb girls are beautiful. Bixi That is not true sis. Looks and your intelligence do not co-orelate. One could be good looking and smart and vice versa. however, it could be true that if a sister is not smart she would spend more time front of the mirror, to look better. If your mind cant impess da dude is more like okey then I will just have to look good lol. wa salaamu alaikum.

Lily thanks for the warning hun, as none of these type of farahs meet my requirements. Munira right on sis a bit of everything is certainly needed. Puja why would u want a man who showers u with gifts and doesnt give u a time of his life?? I think it is good that the guy has money, no question about that, bt he doesnt need to be so rich I assume. wa salaamu alaikum

masha-allah it is indeed breath taking.

Munira I heard similar stories in the past few years. Where Somali ladies would call the police once every while just cuz they had enough of their husbands lol as they put it. Recently I was actually talking to this Somali lady who called the police on her husband, she was telling me he is never there for his kids, he doesn’t know anything about his kids. and spends more time with his buddies than he stays home. I think Somali men simply lost the purpose of life after the civil war, most old folks just go to maqaahi 24/7 , which I am not saying is reason enough to call a police, there is a better way of going about it. However, marriage is not going to work if the father is never there for his kids, when children are young they need a father role. Somali men need to smell the coffee and start playing an important role in their households. wa salaamu alaikum

Lily it was suppose to mean even if things are not going in the right direction, strive to make yr relationship work. Cambaro Jazakalaahu khyr ,thanks for yr post. As always it is beneficial. We would be lucky to find a brother who meets the above conditions. so let's make du'a wa salaamu alaikum

Masha-allah I was so amazed by this clip, and how well the young kid recites, just like Qari Abdul Basit. I am certain all of us would be proud to have a child like him one day Insha-allah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovylbsLYcwc wa salaamu alaikum
