Bring sawiradii Burco kuwii aad keentay mooyaanee kuwa kale keen, and end this love of Burco, it is not healthy for you, explore the rest of the country where you have rivers, canals, oceans and everything.

Didn't know Blessed was a die-hard fan of Unisco hehe

^^Anaa kala daaley saan u dhahayey caption ku dar, waligii buusan ku dareyn, sawir bilaa caption waa cadaab, if it was an old bulding it would have being easier to recognize and tell which part of Xamar. That building looks like Jaamacada Muqdisho, cayaalkaas ayaana dalxiis ku tagey

Hows it going yaa Norf, any cracking news from the Kingdom, bal update me bal niyahow(e-commerce wise), what are the opportunities.

lool football team, why not Lilly, since this world will not last that long, then it is good idea to pop up and have as many children as possible so that they can benefit the little good that this world has to offer, another word ilmaha ayaa loo daneenayaa so that they can enjoy this life, guurka la sheegayo oo ilmaha la dhalayo waa un caawimaad aad ilmaha dhalan doono aad caawineyso si ay ugu istareexaan adduunkan(there is nothing of good benefit for the parents anyway except buuq qeylo and qaxar), if someone cannot do that, then they are selfish by any means, meaning they are refusing fellow human beings to come to this world.

Blessed, inaan sheekadii Istanbul dhameeyo iyagaa iga xayyirey oo iga xayuubiyey xataa qoraalo aan diyaraiyey inaan halkan ku soo rogo, balse waxaa la yiri Jinni ninkii keenaa baxsha dhib malahan wadooyin kalaan mari aan ku soo af-jari karo sheekadii, hada the advantage I have over them is that wey iga baqaan, waxyaala badan baa is badaley, xataa my recent Djibouti visit waan kula kulmey qolyihii but will keep this in low profile, waa sensitive issue from their part. Ps: you have connected two categories, waan bislaadee icun, iyo waan bakhtiyee ijiid oo toban sanoo farqi ah u dhaxeeyo, halkaas waxaa kasoo baxey new category,icun ijiid(laakin age number uma hayo waan u soo shaaheyn), I thank you for that new category

Oodka, I have raised a similar alarm last week about a Somali Journalist reporting on a major news outlet(AFP), and can't remember exactly what the article was all about but others spotted it too, the article was filled with journalist's opinion on a very sensitive issue, so agree with you, personnel opinion should be free from news articles, and opinion articles should be just pure opinion articles that bear the responsibility of its authors. What do you think about this aid anyway being promised every so often, don't you think we are able to produce our own resources without any outside interference, wasn't this the case for the past 20 years where alot have being achieved in major sectors such as Telecom, Banking and Education.

^^ Again, he is not Somali Oodka, the journalist has a vision for Somalia, whether that can be achieved through integration or destruction is not clear!

lool i cun i jiid, I never said those hehe, but it is something I can add into my category list, well aniga am not worried as long aan heesto qolyihii, da'na kama walwalo oo qolyihii baa diyaar ii ah oo iga dhigi wiil yaroo kurey ah anytime as they suggested many times but I declined, I like to keep my human-feature to scare them away!

Actually Oodka, Mohamed Abbas is an Arab, not Somali, you made valid points though, at this sensitive age, one needs to consult on both sides, maybe he is well versed the plan of President Hassan's next few years, and that is, integrating Somaliland into Somalia(the journalist made it sound as an easy task ) Che, I don't like the idea of Somali receiving aids, IMF, World Bank, EU, all these are not the things Somalia need, as you said, we can manage our resources very well given the security needed.

^^ going by that right state of mind or the right person, a problem appears out of nowehere that can diminish the person's muqaal/qaab/aragti/miisaan: COUNTDOWN Dad badan bey hilfaha u laabtey gewertan Aaliyah ah, maxey tiri waa wada waayeelo hehe Malika, u sheeg camal, reer Mombasa aan iska ahey camal maxaan ka aqaanaa waxaneeto

By Mohammed Abbas LONDON | Tue May 7, 2013 3:16pm EDT (Reuters) - Somalia won international pledges of extra cash and military assistance on Tuesday at a major conference convened to help the East African country cope with the twin threats of Islamic militancy and piracy. Somalia's government is seeking to impose stability in a country ravaged by two decades of civil war, lawlessness and famine, and by its own admission it needs help from outside to rebuild decimated infrastructure and institutions. At the end of the London summit Britain committed around 180 million pounds ($279 million), including funding for a planned doubling of the police force, and the United States donated $40 million on top of the $1.5 billion it has given since 2009. Britain, which recently opened a makeshift embassy in the Somali capital Mogadishu protected by two blast walls, also said it would supply military experts to bolster security forces seeking to stamp out Islamic insurgents. The country is enjoying a delicate recovery but relies heavily on others for its security. An African Union military offensive weakened the al Qaeda-linked Islamist rebel group al Shabaab and piracy in key sea lanes off Somalia is at an all-time low thanks largely to a foreign naval presence. "New terrorist threats have emerged in parts of Africa," British Prime Minister David Cameron said at the end of the summit. "Radicalism is poisoning young Somali minds and breeding terrorism and extremism. "This is a threat to our security, and if we ignore it, we will be making the same mistakes in Somalia that we made in Afghanistan in the 1990s," he added. BEGINNING OF NEW SOMALIA British officials did not say when the military experts, or how many, would go to Somalia. Some of the British money is earmarked for doubling police numbers to about 12,000, and some for rebuilding the Mogadishu's main prison. Cash is also earmarked for training judges and creating mobile courts to tour lawless areas of the country. And Britain will help boost radio communications on the Somali coast to combat piracy that the World Bank has estimated costs the world economy $18 billion despite the dramatic drop in incidents so far this year. Speaking alongside Cameron, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said Somalia had been given a chance to prove it could become a stable, inclusive, law-abiding country. "We will prove in the eyes of the world that we will deliver ... It's the beginning of a new Somalia," he said. The conference took place at what organizers called a "pivotal" moment, after new parliamentarians were appointed last year who elected Mohamud. The vote was the first of its kind since military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was toppled in 1991. While lauding improved stability in Somalia, speakers urged caution. On Sunday a suicide bomber attacked a convoy carrying Qatari officials in Mogadishu, killing at least eight Somalis. The attack was later claimed by al Shabaab. Somalia also must integrate the breakaway district of Somaliland and semi-autonomous Puntland region into a federal structure, ahead of elections scheduled for 2016. Somaliland boycotted the conference and Puntland said it was not invited. Cameron played down the boycott, saying he had "very good" discussions with the Somaliland president recently. Mohamud said he had listened to the concerns of all "stakeholders" in Somalia ahead of the conference. More than 50 delegates and organizations attended the conference, including Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who faces charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court related to allegations of orchestrating election violence. Britain justified Kenyatta's presence due to Kenya's importance in helping to stabilize neighbor Somalia. Cameron's office confirmed he met Kenyatta, but declined to say if it was a formal meeting or on the summit sidelines. Kenyatta's office said they had formal bilateral talks and that Cameron was keen to boost British trade with Kenya.

lool 32 being old, am out anyway!

Totally agree with you Cara, after all, we are just gathering information here from different sources(plays, folklore etc), a literature review if any, and one needs to do a research on this subject, Ancient Somali Language, well who is ready, maybe a team from different background need to go ahead, Sheikh Mumin did one but before he could finish his work ayaa tiisa gashey, Allah ha u naxariisto. Cara, bal adna qandiga soo faag oo nagu soo biiri waxoogaa, aawey cilmul Falakii aad taqiiney horta

lool cara, I had to go and explain in great detail soo ma ahan until MMA dhuundheerta igu dhagey, but my theory still is valid even though I know where MMA is coming from, lamme being used in Bay and Bakool area as well as many parts of Somalia to refer Lamme as labo.

lool labadiina shactiroolayaal is nacey aa tihiin camal, one is baajuuni, the other is saabuuni heheh

Dadka dhintey un saas ugu meereyso adu, iska daa maatada oo Ilaah ka baq.

^^ Actually Tallaabo, to support the name "Lamme" which is an ancient name for maalinta isniinta, I had figured out and found few games that contemporary children at early age used to play, the games are: Gariir = it is common for gabdhaha to play ciyaarta Gariirka, and it is done with small rocks, girls against each otherr performing this adventure game. How is "Lamme" or "isniinta" related to Gariir, here it is: When Gariir is being played, and you want to count your numbers, numbers in this game are counted in shan-shan, you start by saying this: Lamme, lamme-kaale, Litte, Litte-abuure, Aw-loojin, this is like saying, one two three four and five. So Lamme or isniinta as being the first day of the week in the Somali Calendar, we can say that traditions has evolved and oral literature has being passed generations to generations. So we can say that, the game "Gariir" has supported this word "lamme", please don't confuse with Lammo which is number two,vowels in Somali language are dangerous and extra careful is needed. There was another game, but its seems the word Lamme has being misused, the game is called, "Kuun-kuun", again, it is an adventure game played by girls, when the counting begins, one says "kuun-kuun lammina, lammina-tabaaraka, sarta-una-baraka-siyeedoow-walax, hakayaa, wa.celaa baxayaa". As you can see, the word "Lamme" referring to as being one has being maintained even though little bit of vowel misuse happened. The originality of the Somali language is something that needs to be appreciated. I am now gathering information about Somali Numbers, and the Somali Calendar Year even though ancient people used Somali Seasons to refer to years.

saddex maalin in the indhayar land, that is not a holiday, remember how you spend on a plane for 18 hours, there 2 days gone, and another 2 days gone on the return journey, so what was the holiday all about unless of course you guys went to the Scotish Highlands

^^ lool Aaliyah, haduu imaan and will say (lowerz gaze sista abu xafza masjidul bakr al-cunaabi) Safferz, wait until he says what are you cooking for us, ninkan meelna uga fakkan meysid baan ku iri

^^ Was she a Mongolian, I found them to be very strict and I have gotten some beat ups after I suggested/made my way to goodbye kiss and hugs that look like I was about to fall forward.

Safferz, ever since you mentioned that you will be travelling to Africa, Apha has never being the same, well he has never being the same ever since he broke up with his Moroccan girl(in her 40s).

Aplha, afar boqol oo halaad hadaadan heynin ka bul dheh, inaar Safferz gold iyo SL shilling aad sheegeyso kala tag. Reeyo, ma suufigii Somaliphilosoph, naga daa dee, tan kale qabniin yaaba is gaareyba. Safferz, I am an old school, the word compatible hadaan isticmaalo dhaqankii ayaan wax u dhimayaa, marka ninkaan afar boqol oo halaad haduu haayo waa ok, halkii neef oo geelana waa $1,200 dollar, marka he is hopeless, ee ha ka walwalin.

Actually, back to the topic, let me list my awkward moments, I will list them in terms of least priority: Technology: - I was instructed to send a divorce text message by my friend who could not write Somali, or English, what he forgot was to give me his phone to send the message from, I ended up writing the message on my phone, and getting ready to send the numbe of his wife who was at the time was in Edmonton, Canada, so he gave me the number including the country code, so I inputed/typed into my phone at the time(it was 1999), and I hit send button, the message is sent, and then I reaalized I sent the message from my phone, then I left my friend from there, after few hours, I received a text message, saying this "markii horeba adigu ima aadan qabin maxaad furtaa horta", and then with "oo ma anoo ina adeertaa ah ayaad i fureysaa maba is guursanee hadaanan hooyo kuu sheegin". After that, I stopped owning a mobile phone for few months.

Reeyo, I have said several times labadan inaan isku meheriyo oon Sheikh u noqdo.
