Waxa jiray nin fuley ahaa ,,, maalintii dambe ayuu raacay duulaan ay reerkoodu ku qaadeen reer kele, nimankani way garanayeen inuu ninkani fuley yahay oo aanuu waxba u tarayn.

 

Markii reerkii kele la soo gaadhay ayay la kulmeen nin dagaalyahan ahaa oo reerkaas ku jiray oo geed hoostiisa hurda go'na huwan. Ninkii fuleyga ahaa ayay ku yidhaahdeen ilayn waa fuley oo runta u sheegi kari maayaane, "geedkan waxa hoos hurdda habar, markaa ag fadhiiso oo yaanay inagu toosine, ilaali" waanay ka tegeen si ay xoolihii iyo geelii kele u dhacaan.

 

Cabbaar markuu fuleygii meeshii fadhiyay ayuu ninkii hurday is dhaqaajiyay oo yara xamaartay ilayn waa qof hurda e, markaasay maradiina gees ka yara dhacday. Ninkii fuleyga ahaa baa arkay muruqyada ka soo jeeda qofkii habarta loogu sheegay, waxaanuu gartay in la khiyaameeyay.

 

Intuu cararay buu qoladiisii uu la socday u dhawaaqay oo ku yidh:

[Jacaylbaro]

you said Af Somaali Only

 

 

stick to your own rules

[N.O.R.F]

I also said translate the Maah Maah

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

One of my favourite, ee an ku celiyo mar kale:

 

Hooba naar galaasa, bartaa ay la aragnee, tiimbooy!

 

Many of you Afsoomaali-challenged might have been perhaps wondered what my signature means. Here is your chance, explained fully.

 

Hooba naar galaasa, bartaa ay la aragnee, tiimbooy = Haddaa naar galeysid, bartaada yaala arkin, ee tiimbo = If you have decided to do something, don't do it in halfway, do it completely; thus the word 'tiimbooy' is emphasized, which means dive in like a swimmer.

[Jacaylbaro]

Ninba meesha bugtaa isagay belbeshaa: You feel only your pain.

[N.O.R.F]

Thanks and keep them coming guys,,,,,
