This reminds a few years back in London. I was checking my email and my MSN username was XuuXaaX, when this older cousin of mine, who Ingiriiska la geeye iyadoo yar, tried to read the word in English. She tried, but terribly failed. She couldn't even master the first few letters out -- 'Suusaah' was her final made-up word. Dadkii meesha wada joogay qosol la dhacay, when she finally isdabaqabatay and realized the words were combined Soomaali words, which she knew as individual ones of xaax and xuux.

Meeshaan dahab diggers isku aruursaday. Keep the dreams, maandheeyaal.

It is always pleasure to see Soomaali kids in their hido iyo dhaqan. This one is taken last month, for Soomaali Independence Day -- Kowda Luulyo -- at Melbourne, Australia. My man -- Cumar Shooli, Soomaalis' most underrated singer -- at that same party celebration.

Bilaal, it was a colonial strategy to rename colonized Soomaali regions and gave them clan names instead. They did it in Bari, in Soomaali Galbeed and in Jabuuti. They did this in order to emphasize and promote clans than Sooamalinimo. That region has a neutral Soomaali created name -- Soomaali Galbeed. I don't know why some don't use this. Just substitute it to Soomaali Galbeed and it is solved, including those in the copy and pasted articles. Easy. PS -- If this is allowed, then some will argue Bari [Waqooyi Bari] too had a former colonial-created clan name and should be revived.

Maahmaahyada cannot directly translated. It is useless because murtida ku jirto ayaa ka baxeyso. What one needs to do is find the closest proverb other non-Soomaalis use, this time that borrowed one which originated from Shiinaha. Canjeero sidee u kala koreysaa loo kala qaadaa = Every journey begins with a single step. And the Jarmalka one closest to one of ours: Miro gunti ku jira, kuwo geed saaran looma daadsho = A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. And Kuuriyaan one: Nimaan shaqeysan shaah waa ka xaaraan = No pain, no gain. Beentaada hore runtaada dambe bay u daran tahay = The boy who cried wolf ... Aqooni la'aan waa iftiin la'aan = Knowledge is power.

Cali Cabdoow: "Maalin walba labo haween Soomaaliyeed ayay ciidamadda Itoobiya qaadsiiyaan cudurka AIDSka" Wasiirka arrimaha dibadda ee dalka Ereteriya Cali Cabdoow Axmed ayaa mar uu u waramayey taleefishinka Aljasiira waxa uu sheegay in dhibaatada ka taagan Soomaaliya ay ugu wacan tahay Ciidamadda Itoobiya oo uu sheegay. "Maalin walba waxaa la gumaadaa Ummadda Soomaaliyeed, waxaana laga buuxiyaa xabsiyada" ayuu yiri Wasiirka arrimaha Dibadda ee Ereteriya, waxa uuna intaa raaciyey, "Waxaan ogaanay in maalin walba labo haween Soomaaliyeed Ciidamada Itoobiya qaadsiiyaan Cudurka AIDSka, marka ujeedada Itoobiya waa sidii ay uga aarsan lahayd una baabi'in lahayd Ummada Soomaaliya". Wasiirka arrimaha dibadda waxa uu beeniyey warar dhawaan ka soo yeeray ururka Midowga Afrika oo ahaa in Ereteriya ay hub gaarsiisay kooxo ka soo horjeeda Dowladda Federaalka, waxa uuna warkaasi ku tilmaamay mid aan sal iyo raad toona laheyn oo ladoonayo in lagu marin Habaabiyo ummadda Soomaaliyed. Wasiirka waxa uu sheegay in Dhibaatada Soomaaliya aysan marnaba degi doonin tan iyo inta ay Dowladda Itoobiya faragelinta ku hayso arrimaha Soomaaliya, isagoo soo jeediyey in arrimaha Soomaaliya loo madax banaaneeyo ummadda Soomaaliyeed.

C/llaahi Yuusuf: "Waan ka damqaday wixii ka dhacay ..." Madaxweyne C/llaahi Yuusuf Axmed oo hadda booqasho ku jooga Magaalada Madaxda Maamul Gobaleedka Puntland ee Garoowe ayaa mar uu kulan la yeeshay odayaal iyo waxgarad ka tirsan Maamulkaasi ayaa waxauu sheegayin uu si dhaqsi leh waxa uga qaban doono xaaladda ka taagan maamulkaasiee la xiriirta dhinaca nabadgelyada iyo Maciishada. C/llaahi Yuusuf waxa uu sheegay in wixii ka dhacay Maamul Gobaleedka Puntland uu si aad ah uga damqaday, isagoo sheegay in talaabo laga qaadi doono wixii sababay in dadweynuhu qayliyaan kana damqadaan maciishada cirka isku shareertay . C/llaahi Yuusuf waxa uu sheegay in ay jiraan dad doonaya in ay qalqalgeliyaan ammaanka iyo xasiloonida ka jirta maamul Gobaleedka Puntland, hase yeehsee carabka kuma dhifan dadkaasi. Waxgaradkii iyo Odayaashii ka qaybgalay kulankaasi ayaa waxay ka codsadeen Madaxweyne C/llaalhi Yuusuf Axmed in u Talaabo ka qaado dadka cunqabateynta maamul gobaleedka Puntland, waxay kaloo ka codsadeen in isbedel lagu sameeyo maamulka Puntland gaar ahaan maamulada hooose. C/llaahi Yuusuf waxa uu isla shalay kulan deg deg ah la yeeshay maamul Gobaleedk aPuntland oo ay ka wada hadleen xaaladda ka taagan maamul Gobaleedka Puntland sida nabadgelyada iyo sicir bararka, isagoo sheegay in xiriir iskaashi uu ka dhexeeyo Dowladda Federaalka iyo Maamulo Gobaleedka Puntland loona baahan yahay in arrintasi la sii adkeeyo. Waxaa la filayaa in C/llaahi Yuusuf uu saacadaha soo socda gaaro magaalada Boosaaso, halkaas oo uu kulamo kula yeelan doono dadweynaha ku nool Boosaaso. Soomaalitalk Damqashadda, mid dhaqaaalo xataa ha ahaatee, gaar ayee leedahay ileen. Dadka lagu baabinaayo, dhaqaalahooda lagu bililiqeysanaayo [suuqa Bakaaraha kamid ah] ee deegaanadda kale dugaag miyaa laga damqan? Waxaas Xabashadda u adeego ayaa hoggaamin sheeganaayo.

And yaa yiri the 'ood' ayaa original ah? You heard the ood one first does not mean it is the original one. Speaking of ood and canjeero, tan canjeeradda ku saabsan ayaaba si caqligal u ah. Ood qoryaheeda tan hoos taalo waaba soo saaran kartaa mar mar iyadoo kuwa kor saaran ay isku dhicin, not with canjeero iskor fuusho. Maahmaahda Banaadiriga wax gaaro malaha with their sheer simplicity and yet hidden meanings behind each. I especially still like dooli wadkiis galay, shaarbo makulaal aas ku ciyaaraa iyo midka kale ee abkeey dooli diloow, dad nool maas u daahaa. Luuq luuq maroow, laasim laamigaas kusoo dhacaa. No need in la sharxo all these maahmaahyo.

I do not want to go to that argument, but yaa yiri dimuqraadiyad iyo Islaanimo waa isqilaafaan? Mise so-called securalism and democracy ayaa isku qaldee? There is no one version of democracy. Each nation applies at it sees fit. Soomaalis, by nature and before they even heard this 'dimuqraadi' word, were fierce independent people. That is what Samatar has had in mind. Soomaalis were 'democratic' people since dawn, airing their grievance under geed qansax and qurac. Soomaalis cannot be ruled by dictatorship and one person dictating as s/he sees it. We had seen that road and the result we have yet to recover from. Democracy and Islaam can be combined if it former does not contradict the latter's divine revelations. It works in Malaysia, which is barely a majority Muslim state. We can have our own unique version.

Somaliland Too Under Ethiopian Umbrella And this is news today? Xabash inay Soomaaliya dhan maamusho, including Waqooyi Galbeed, qof wax u jeedo la socday. It is a sad reality and only can be overcome by a true, Soomaali midowdo oo gacmaha isheysto as it happened in Axmed Gurey's time, in 1964 and '77; haddii kale hal halkaas ay u cuneyso ayee waligeed u cunee.

One of the few true sons of Soomaaliya, Cabdi Ismaaciil Samatar, was in Koronto and Ottawa last weekend, as usual soo jeediye fikrad wanaagsan. His five simple points he suggested Soomaaliya should led by: Aaminsan daryeelka ummadda Soomaaliyeed Aaminsan in uu maalkiista/maalkeeda iyo waqtigiis/waqtigeeda u hurayo xoreynta Soomaaliya iyo ku dhaqanka mabaadii’da dimuqraadiyadda Aaminsan qiimaha diinta Islaamka (Islamic values) iyo daryeelka qiimaha shaqsiga (respect for human dignity) Aaminsan in howshaan uusan ku raadsaneyn (dhaqaale ama darajo) Aaminsan ku dhaqanka caddaalada iyo ka fogaanta qabiilka It surely makes sense and I for one completely agree with him. If more Soomaali people were that sensible.

Another typical Afrikan leader who does not realize xiligii hoggaaminta la iska wareejin lahaa has come. Yes, he is admirable when he tries to give the middle finger the powers that be currently, namely the Galbeedka. He however knows where his limits extend to. Yes, he tries to portray himself as an essential middle man, who confuses the masses. Even his personal life is like that, including his dress style, which is a combination of Carab, Islaamic and Afrikaan attires, same as his policies, which Carabnimo, Islaamic and Africanism. He is not eccentric. He enjoys the limelight when he likes to view himself and acts just as another fellow commoner, i.e. erecting his camp and staying in the camp during foreign summits infront of luxury five-star hotels, where other leaders salivate, to shame them perhaps. His utopic political thoughts -- the merged notion and nation of 'Isratine' of Isra'iil and Falastiin, and a real union members in African Union (which itself is the fruit and a product of tireless efforts of his so far) come to mind -- clearly says a lot about him. He wants to define himself as an essential, philosophic middle man that takes no bullshuud from no one and no organization. He is just a guy too much in love with himself and desperately trying to be a unique, almost a cult-like figure, thus making his country's flag being nothing but dark whole-green, Liibiya not having a real, written constitution, not having any official title [only a 'leader' and not president, prime minister, king, etc], I've no problem with the man; in fact, I admire some of his policies, particularly the foreign ones. He should, however, know his time really has come. Leading a nation absolutely almost four decades is not acceptable or bearable in this fast changing world. Laakiin another Afrikan 'leader' maxaa laga sugaa xoog in loogu qaado ma'ahee?

But that marax wixiisa waa ka dareey, beating, smashing and kicking the poor skinny teen senselessly and probably begging for the dear life of his. Anybody who enjoys and finds humour in someone beating senselessly qof dhulka yaalo oo tuugaayo the beater needs a little pyschological check-up.

You've already been given the two sites with most songs when it comes how to get MP3 songs, especially the latter -- sclub19.com -- which has a huge, most comprehensive Soomaali songs recorded pre-war. And all are MP3-friendly. I got most of what I have on my MP3 from that site. The other site I can remember now whose listed songs can be downloaded is somalilyrics.net.

Maskiinka asagoo noloshiis haddaba soo kaceysay senselessly la dilo aad wax loogu murugooda waaye. ------------- The mother of a schoolboy shot dead by youths on bicycles says he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time". Abukar Mahumed, 16, was killed after being chased by half a dozen hooded youngsters with bandanas covering their faces. The Somali teenager died from a single gunshot to the neck outside a block of council flats in Stockwell, South London, in the early hours of Thursday. His mother Mulki Ahmed, 42, said her son had never been involved with a gang or in trouble with the police. At her home in Tulse Hill, South London, she said: "Abukar was a really quiet boy and a very good boy. He was a very good son, a fantastic kid. "He was the active, sporty type. He played football and went swimming twice a week. And he liked to go out with his friends. "He was always supportive, honest, helpful and kind. He was so friendly to everybody. "Around here, there are a lot of boys that are very bad. Abukar was not like that. Abukar was in the wrong place at the wrong time." The family are Somali Muslims and Abukar had three brothers Mahamed, 17, Mahamud, 14, and Hassan, 13. Supported by her 45-year-old husband, Abdirahman, Mrs Mahumed added: "My other sons are coping. I am frightened of them going out now, but I cannot stop them. What can I do?" She said Abukar had been doing well at Stockwell Park High School. "Education was his priority and he had just been accepted into Lambeth College to study science and English in September. He loved anything to do with science." Other article

Shimbir sings: Asluub badaneey Amaan badaneey Sidii ubaxii U udgoon badaneey Waxaan idileey Kugu oon bixin lahaa [ ] Adigoo idileey Aroos kuula gala Adigoo oorideyda noqdoo Ubad dhala Ilwaad quruxleey And Magool gives her answer: Asluub badanoow Amaan badanoow Sidii ubaxii U udgoon badanoow Waxaan aabiyoow Kugu oon bixi lahaa Adoo aabiyoow Aroos ila gala Anoo ooridaada noqdoo Ubad dhala Ilwaad quruxloow Afsoomaali is a hodan language, a language which we unfortunately never appreciated and developed that far. Anagaa dhulka dhignay afkeena. Ereyga kaliya for wife has more than a half dozen words in Afsoomaali: Oori, afo, arad, maranti, xilo, xaas iyo bilcaan [it can also mean woman]. I think some of them have a particular and different meanings of the general word of wife. Some of them may mean, who knows, a second one [minyaro] or a third one. Or mid la dumaalay. We don't know, the only thing we do now know is that their general meaning waa wife. ---------------- Dad ayaaba meeshaan Afsoomaaligooda iska eber ah. Husband is not 'nin.' The official word in Afsoomaali language for husband is seey. "Heblaayo baa seeygeeda ku geeriyooday ..." waligiin ma maqlin? And what is wrong with nin? If you don't have any problem with 'my husband' -- which it seems some of you don't -- then 'ninkeyga' muxuu qabaa? Ninba ama naagba teeda la quman. Soomaalida dhaqan ahaanba wax amaan ah iyo wax kale iskuma fiicno. Jaceylkooda hadduu jirina waa wax laba isjecel qolkooda ku wadaagaan. They appreciate innerly without overtly displaying publically bogus, dad istustus 'love.' Bishaaro, 'igaar' is not Afmaay, it is Xamari. Ariir = boy/girl ayaa Afmaay ah. It is very interesting igaar/ariir/inan are all unisex words when it comes to both genders.

Originally posted by buuxo: Ok what on earth does this mean??/ Gabadh nin dhali karaa dhiqi kara This is what aabiyaasheen isku sheegi jireen in the old days to marry an innocent, unsuspecting, maiden new wife, saying aloud to reerkeeda, "War gabar nin dhali karaa dhaqi karee ina siiya inanta." Well, in a way, it means only 'a mature man can take care his girl [lady].' Not an inexperienced boy-man. That is the reference with being 'old enough to be her father.' NB - I think you got the confusion and misunderstanding from the misspelling of dhaqi to 'dhiqi.' Dhiqi sounds like a complete new word.

Puntland On Life Support: Part II Just when you would have thought that things could not get any worse in Puntland with the well documented corruption and human rights abuses, including the Robert Mugabe style burning down of a sprawling shanty town at the outskirts of Bosaso city—where more than two hundred and fifty homes were destroyed—Cadde Muse seems to be going off the deep end. Cadde’s time in power is becoming increasingly costly for the hardworking, law abiding people of Puntland. He is actively subverting the rule of law to which he was sworn to uphold. For starters, he is seeking to summarily dismiss both the City Council and Mayor of Bosaso city for the bogus offenses of failing to tow the line. And it gets worse by the day. Cadde's administration is undertaking schemes so unimaginable and alarming, that even the most hardened felons would probably hesitate to act upon them. It has to do with his lunatic plot to sell off Somalia’s famed, but fragile, coral reefs eco-system (that supports diverse marine life) at the Gulf Aden coast, piece by piece, to be shipped abroad by the shiploads to foreign buyers . He either does not understand the consequences of the long term ecological disaster resulting from his catastrophic sale of one of Somalia’s key intrinsic natural resources, a resource that took untold thousands of years to form, or he is unfazed by his fixation with the enormous perils attendant to his penchant for absolute rule. Either way, Cadde’s corrosive activities represent a clear and present danger to every Somali man, woman and child for abusing the power that was entrusted in him by the people of Puntland. Unfortunately, his aggressive and often illegal policies are destroying the goodwill among the partners of the regional administration, hastening the dissolution of the partnership. As of today, he has attempted to arrest the Speaker of the Parliament for calling for an audit of the government’s finances and for not accepting an illegal decree. The Speaker is at the present time free, thanks to forces loyal to the constitution and beholden to Cadde Muse or his rubber stamp courts. One would think that such diligence on the part of the Speaker would be welcomed by the Chief Executive, especially at a time when revenues are going up in double digits while government employees are unpaid for months at a time. But in Cadde Muse’s Puntland, you would be mistaken. Why would opening the books provoke such a visceral reaction? Perhaps the prospect of finding embarrassing financial discrepancies is a strong motivation — that is if books were kept in the first place. Reasonable people will agree that Puntland today is a hypocrisy, not a democracy; therefore, waiting over a year or so for elections is an exercise in futility and a costly one at that. Puntland can not and should not be allowed any more to be run like a personal flea market. By now, even the most ardent supporters of the present administration, whose motto has been, Ilaahow Cadde Muse Xoolo sii aan ka xoogsannee, must come to terms with the dire and desperate conditions their fellow Puntlanders are burdened with and muster the courage to take the drastic measures this situation calls for. Puntland is on life support—whether or not Puntlanders are able, or willing to resuscitate it remains to be seen. Stay tuned. Onkod
