OH LOWD islaanta, Lets see what you can do other than make excuses. I'm sick of you mouthing on and on about how good your Somali is, even though you can hardly string two words together!! I think one of these days timahaa aayan kaa riifayah in Somali! :rolleyes:

 

P.s. I'm thinking of opening a thread openly challenging you, for all to see your shameful attempts!

[-Serenity-]

[Ibtisam]

BOB: You get the pic, someone who really wants to go, can get them all right. Now take back your offer while it is just the two of us, otherwise you will force me to use google, pluz ayeeyo, to make sure I get each one right! lol

I have never seen a language massacred this much it literally brings tears to your eyes...

 

 

Hey Bob,

 

Those were easy as the Ghanima said. However let me translate the hardest one I think was in the form of banadiri dialect if I am correct.

 

"Luuq luuq maroow laazim laamiga imaaha"

 

 

Regardless of he taking narrow paths and shortcuts he'll be back to mainstreet.

 

"meesha libaax soo galaa lo' majoogayso"

 

My translation:

 

Where the lion enters, the cows disapear(in fear).

 

PS. I don't want to go to Kismayo. Well not for vacation but maybe to kick those Ethiopia animals out.

My brother Bada Cas...I'm doing wonderful Alxamdulillaah...good to see you back...you didn't give me the news I was waiting for all these days concerning with the Xuural Ceyntii Hablood ee aan reerkooda iiga doon ku iri ee xaggaa iyo Boorama...waxaan sugayey inaad akhbaarta iisoo gudbiso ileyn waxaad aheyd oday aan dirsaday oo imaqane ...Sshhhhhh si hoos ah iigu sheeg oo yaan lagu maqlin...waad ogatahay in dadkani ay yihiin kuwo war jecele oo jaceylkana si xun lid ugu ah.

 

 

Brother Kismaayo...waa magaalo aad uqurux badan una saxo fiican...waxaan jeclaan lahaa in aan mar un kugu marti qaado oo aan ku tuso nimcada iyo kheyraadka ilaahey nagu maneeystay hadaan nahay reer Kismaayo...laakiin nasiib xumo maanta waxaa ka madax ah Amxaaro sidey uga madaxyihiin caasimada iyo waddanka intiisa oo kale but don't despair...their occupation will come to an end Insha Allah sooner rather than later...I'm sure of that.

 

 

Back to the topic...Guys there is no way you can translate Somali proverb into English and still expect it to have the same significance just like the English proverb would make no sense when translated into Somali but in my opinion what we can do is try to find a similar proverb.

 

 

Salam Aleikum W.W

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

BOB, inanta ha'ka oohinin. Wey isla fiicantahaye.

[Ibtisam]

^^^Lol^^^ I cannot believe You! I thought we had a deal serenity! :rolleyes:

 

BOB. That bad eh?, well in my defense there is "no way you can translate Somali proverb into English and still expect it to have the same significance just like the English proverb would make no sense when translated into Somali." So it was your fault for asking!

[BOB]

No, it wasn't my fault but Northerner's since he first asked people to translate their proverbs into Somali....I just knew it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to do so...why else would I give away two tickets to the greatest city in the whole world if it was that easy? think about it.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

[Jacpher]

Dawo, Hadal ‘ax’ ma oran. If words could feel pain. I like the English version but I’ve never heard of the Somali one. Waxaan u maleynayaa inay u yara eg tahay, “Xarago xanuun ma leh” Style has no pain.

 

“Dadka hadalka ilahy ku manaystan baa loogu maah maahaa” Daadaansiga ma deehee?

 

Serenity Almost all of these maahmaahyo won’t make any sense in their literal English meaning. They sound weird and confusing but funny.

 

Awkeey dooli diloow dad nool maas udaahaa = Rat killer won’t hesitate murder.

 

 

MMA: Kaadi badane waa loo gogol badiyaa = A man is given more beds for wetting.

[Aaliyyah]

By the way, maahmaahda dadka hadal badnaanta badan see u af xunyihiin ayaa loola jeedaa, oo dadka afka cuncunaayo hadal jeclaan ahaan, ee loolama jeedo speaking on behalf of those who are present, which you literally translated to.

maya walaalo waxa lola jeeda nin jooga loma adeego, yacni nin jooga asaga isku hadli kara, oo qof jooga loma hadlo.

 

Inta badan macnaha maahmaahda ma aha in aad toos lo macneeyo oo macnoooyin kale ayeey leedahay. Laakin maahmaahdan ah qof jooga loma adeego, wa hadal toosan ooo macnahiisuba qarsooneen.

[Jacaylbaro]

Bismillaah ,,,,,, some ppl have so many free times in their hands ,

[Aaliyyah]

maanta ma jacalybaro ayaa dadki kale la yaabay cajiib

[BOB]

I didn't know your Somali was that advanced...Maasha Allah .

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

[Jacaylbaro]

loooooooooool ,,,,, balaayo waliba balaayay ka subxaanalaysataa ma maqashay ??

 

Walee dadka qaar waan ka yaabay
