LOL@keentu diida. Adaa war haya. I don't know the meaning. It was the name of a famous Somali Sultan though. And thanks, sis. Ameen to your duca.

^Not many nice names for girls and the nice ones are way too common. Both my girls have Arabic names. No need to apologies, Aida. I just don't think many people here know Ethiopian names. Add.. Kenadiid, Keynaan, Libaan and Magan (I love this name) to the boys names.

You're right, Aaliyah. The earing hijaab probably isn't halaal but errm... waan iska amusayaa. Most girls I've seen have their neck showing anyway.

Congrats. I think yo might have better luck finding ethiopian names in an ethiopian forum. Here are some Somali names... Boys Mahad - Mahad is a way of expressing gratitude. Hanad - my favourit Somali names- don't know what it means though. Raageh- late comer Girls Idil - Ayan- furtunate Find more @ www.somalinames.com

Good development, Masha Allah. :cool:

The earing one would look good for weddings. I love earings too Aaliyah, I just adore them and stroke themevery now and then. LOL. As for styling hijab.. yaa wakhti u haya. It just goes round and round my head and the end gets pined in. Liking your girly threads, btw. It adds some uunsi to the forum. X

Awww. Look at them looking so royal, sophisticated, dignified, handsom.... Ragna waa ragii hore, indeed. Bless 'em.

^Err. this thread is directed at women and is about HAIR. Aaliyah, Showqi is right, relaxer is for 'unrully, hard to manage hair' the word 'xayraan' can be used in that context.

Two inspiring sisters, Masha Allah. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/05/10/sada.mire.somalia.archaeologist/?hpt=C2

Illahay ha u naxariisto hooyada dhimatay. It might seem like a simple suggestion but there is a great lack of knowledge with regards to infant / mothers health back home, esp. in baadiye where there are no medical facilities to speak off. They think having more children will counter infant mortality but it is actually one of the causes of it and then there's all the misinformation about Islam - many think that family planning is not allowed -- that having as many kids as possible is their way of contributing to the ummah (never minding if they turn out to be farakh laga acuudubilaysto). I do laugh at the reasons mothers are encouraged to have another - heard an islaan tell a mother 'wiilkaan waa kibir batay, waa in aad ilmo ka daba keentid suu edeb u yeesho. Right!!

Anyway, about the Bruco thing, can I do it remotely? Best to email me with details, maaha? Xxx

Arn't they all WL ? Miss our little place. It even came with a hill to burn all those calories. . This place looks nicet but you can tell that cunadu ain't nothing to write home about. Same hilbi and 2 veg you get in every Somali joint.

Maxaan waydiiyaa? Naa heedhe, what you doing in hotel though?

Eating out bck home is tricky business. Looking forward to my lovely eedos food. I must say I prefer not doing 'touristy' things.. visiting family and going souq everyday and the bus rides in Htown were mad fun. I can't imagine how anyone can spend months there with no job though -- two weeks felt like two months. . Muwaaah, Ibti. <3

Interesting read. Share your thoughts.. Here’s a Mother’s Day thought: There’s a way to save many of the world’s 350,000 women who die in childbirth each year. But it’s very controversial, for it’s called family planning. Republicans in Congress have gone on the warpath this budget season against family planning programs at home and abroad. To illustrate the stakes, let me share a Mother’s Day story about a pregnant 30-year-old Somali woman named Hinda Hassan. Ms. Hassan lived in a village near this remote town of Baligubadle in Somaliland (a self-ruling enclave carved from Somalia). She never used family planning, for none is available within several days’ walk. When her eighth child was still an infant, she became pregnant again.

I've met a sweet Kazakhstani sister during Umrah a few years ago and added it to my places to visit back then. Loving the masaajid structures. MashaAllah.

Ouch for you jeeb! How long does that last you for?

..and the 66% majority is dirt poor.

^Did you see the one where she tried to spell her name. LOL. She's the Somaali Paris Hilton. Hehehe. She needs to lay of Somaalis though-- I don't know why Somaali on youtube anaga meherad nooga dhigtaan. Sheesh!

^LOOOOL. Steady on, Xaaji. Goormaa muqumad kuugu dambaysay? LOL. Malika isn't that a beauty.
