This is no joke, what if someone made a similar joke about burco or harigesa or some other city? I'm sure libaax sankataabte or some of his minions would delete the topic or even ban the member. I want this latin wannabe's head on a platter.

^ LOL@osaan, for a second i thought you were speaking mongolian. thanks for the correction saaxiib, i thought candho meant something else that sounds a lot like navy seals.

I don't know why you're not banned? Or is it because you're part of the 'old boys club' in here? Seriously this place lacks any diverse opinion and creativity, This place is a breeding ground for thoughtless robots, who think just because they have a western degree, they are above everyone. Reminds me of fox news and libaax sanka-taabte is the CEO.

Somali's can be very hospitable to guests, that's one positive aspect of our community, despite some differences we still help each other out when we can.

^ well i'm not a big fan of 'rules', maybe that's why. so who is making these rules up? are you talking about society, or biological roles? p.s i'm just being the devils advocate here.

Originally posted by Sabriya: I think it all boils down with the roles women played for centuries. Most of these roles were they were teachers, nurses, housewives, midwives etc. The reason being Allah swt created us to be more emotional than men. This does not mean women are weaker than men or less important. Just we are more emotional and that’s not a bad thing. One needs to be emotional if they are going to be more aware of other people’s feelings. I mean really you see that women share more with their friends/family than men. You are not going to see a man sharing with his friends with anything very detailed or personal where women share more and comfort each other more. They are more understanding to each other. Where maybe men would laugh at their friend and be like why are you being emotional, move on, be a man. This does sound generalization but believe me its true in most aspects. There is always exception to the rule. That is not to say men don't have feelings believe me they do, the prophet csw was a very caring and generous man. It's only about relativity. Also you did notice when it comes to funerals women are not allowed to be present when the dead is being buried, cuz allah swt knows that they are very emotional and that whole incident can just a bit too much for them to take in. Inshallah this is just what I think, perhaps am not right. Just you know my opinion… salaam I dunno about other men, but I'm very in touch with my feminine side, in fact I enjoy crying for absolutely no reasons and I am very emotional, thank you very much!!!

Now that's what I call big bimbin. It must be nice to be saudi royalty.

I would do it, if it was practical and I could make a living. Ideally, I would love to start some sort of business in somalia or africa, but that's being optimistic.

I consider myself an individual, maxaa iga shaqo jiro waxey somalida sameeyaan or not. Ama ha is dilaan am ha is magaan, ama yee wax baranin, what somali people do is not a reflection of of me as an individual. We should all be more individualistic and worry about number 1.

Originally posted by -MARX-: I think when talking about the Somali Language we need to be objective and set things in perspective. For instance we need to distinguish between colloquial Somali and formal and standard Somali. if you want to learn and understand formal and standard Somali refer to textbooks, television programmes and newspaper articles, unfortunately many of the words that so often find themselves in our daily communications are not standard Somali but rather ‘street’ ,’slang’ or colloquial Somali. These days you find many people whose Somali language credential are questionable presenting their own substandard way of speaking the Somali language as the correct way to speak Somali. Many of the Somali films made in North America can’t be considered serious as they use slang in their dialogue. Also sometimes when you watch people being interviewed on Somali television (Universal) you see just how poor peoples Somali is. Just because the majority of Somali people speak colloquial Somali doesn’t mean it the right way to speak Somali. Unfortunately those who are learning in Somali are learning from people who have a poor grasp of the Somali language. - notice how she adds 'o' at the end of every sentence! if she learnt proper somali she wouldn't speak like this! Qof oo weligiis somali qorin , oo oday cadaan ah cabuudo muxuu somali sax ah ka yaqaan?

Someone once said, dumar waa caruur cag weyn, they were spot on.

Sherban shabeel Somali language is actually easy and simple, it's written the way it sounds(phonetically) . The difficult comes in increasing your vocabulary and knowing that there are different dialect and different words could have different meaning depending on the regional dialect. I actually think speaking the language is more difficult than writing it. The following might be helpful: A few words about the spelling of Somali: Consonants in Somali are for the most part the same as English except for the following: J is always pronounced as j in 'jet' G is always pronounced g as in 'get' The Somali language has no P, no V, and no Z, so when Somalis speak English they will often substitute the sounds b, f and s respectively; the English 'p' sound is particularly difficult for Somali speakers. Th and Ch are not present in Somali, but Sh is. X, Q, C, Dh, and KH, are used to represent special consonant sounds in Somali which do not have English equivalents. While Kh is similar to the kh in "khakhi' and 'khan', the other four sounds you should hear pronounced by a Somali speaker. They are very difficult for English speakers to reproduce -- or even to hear accurately and are often completed ignored. A simple example will illustrate this: the conventional Anglicized spelling of the proper names Ali and Hassan would be written as Cali and Xasan in the Somali orthography, reflecting the presence of the c and x consonants"

^ Mr somali culture himself, and you can't even write the language correctly?

Dr. Orwin martin, who is this professor who wrote the book? and where did he learn somali, I just googled him and it's interesting that they offer somali learning class at SOAS. I'm gonna look for that book. It's too bad it was written by a non somali though.

There is really nothing wrong with divorce per se, the whole idea of staying with the same person for eternity is not appealing or realistic anymore. The whole idea of 'death due us part' only made sense when people life expectancy was considerably shorter than today, when we live up to 80 or more years.
