NGONGE Posted December 4, 2008 Man with red hat: War maxay leeyheen. This line is not moving at all. Man with green hat: stop pushing and wait for your turn. Man with no hat: Rag waaween bad teheen. Stop complaining and don’t show us up. The women are in the opposite line and can hear you. Man with red hat (whispers): Badw bad tahay ninyaho. Why else do you think I am making all this fuss about the non-moving queue? Man with green hat (whispers back): Ninyaho kan eska dhaf. Mala xaaskiisa linka ku jirta. Man with red hat: Hahaha Man with no hat: Uuuf. War maxay leeyheen. This line is not moving at all! Man with green hat: say ma yaroox fooq, say ma yansol taxat ayaay carabtu ku maahmaahda Man with red hat: Haahay. Waxay na yedhaahdan: qaala wa qaala kalam kateer. Man with no hat: War I dhiga ban edin edhi. Man with green hat: maskeen ya dallas Man with red hat: cajeeb el cajaayib Woman with orange jilbaab: War ninka mad eska daaysan. Man with green hat (to man with red hat): So kuu man sheegin? Man with red hat: Bow! Man with no hat: War I dhiga ban edin edhi Man with green hat: Do you support Udub? Man with no hat: Maxa kaa galay? Man with red hat (to man with green hat): Does he look like an Udub supporter to you? Man with green hat: Ninyaho wa runta. He does not look like one. Woxo wa eska badow. He must be a Kulmiye supporter. Man with red hat: He looks like one. Woman with orange jilbaab: You are calling him badow but neither of you understands the meaning of democracy. Maxa ka jira hadoo K or U taagiro? Man with red hat: Arr ninyaho xaaskaga naga qabo dee. Man with no hat: Ninyaho wad caytamaysa. This woman is my and your sister. Stop spreading rumours about her. Woman with o.j (to man with no hat): inadeer, don’t waste your time trying to reason with these two jaahils. Woman with yellow jilbaab: Naa. Amus. Adiga hadalka eso keenay. What possessed you to get involved in men’s conversations? Woman with white maser: Don’t shut her up. She was right to tell those two to leave the poor man alone. Man with red hat to man with green hat: Waliga ma argtay nin ween oo la leeyahay waa maskiin? Man with green hat: Miya ninyaho. Kano wa bila dheeg. Man with red hat: gaalado waxay ku maahmahda, at da wrong balayees at da wrong time. Man with green hat: hahaha..waxanay edhaahdan, E-see come, E-see go. Man with no hat (losing his temper): talyaanigo waxay ku maahmaahan Il diavolo fa le pentole ma non i coperchi Man with red hat: Arr woxo eleen waa reer xamar. Nacala af talyaaniga eyo.... (fill in the gaps with a suitable swear word) Man with green hat: Mala waa jaasuus! Woman with yellow jilbaab: Ma Al shabaab ba? Woman with white maser: Na miyanaad aheen tii na laheed ragga ha la hadlina? Woman with yellow jilbaab: Naa aamus. Sacsacad yahay. Sheekado way es badashay. Man with red hat: Waa ruunta.

There is nothing in that bag, only a new shirt and macawis. Woman with orange jilbaab (hesitating): Walaal, ma run ba? Al Shabaab miyad ku jirta? Man with green hat: Xita xaaskiisa ka shakiday. Arr kala yaacaaaay. Arr baxsadaaaay. The line disperses and people run in all direction only for the men with the red and green hats to return and stand at the head of the line. Man with red hat: war waan siginay. Man with green hat: haa ninyaho. Man with red hat: carabtu waxay ku maahmaahda, fe al baxar kabeer lasim saceema. Man with green hat: hahaha. Waxay na yedhahdaan, talaata fi etneena ma yemshi. The door opens and they walk in to register. --------- No idea how many spelling, grammatical or factual mistakes are there. I posted the first draft. I am off to lunch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted December 4, 2008 ^^^Hey Has the family arrived? NuuneYou know how bad my written somali is, it will just mess up the whole story, and it is not the same when told in english. I'm sure JB or Blessed could tell it. You probably know it, I can't remember his name, but he was a smart tuug and his sons too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted December 4, 2008 ^Heey, you. *muwaah* No, they'll be here tonight, Insha Allah. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted December 4, 2008 Loooool....this was funny.Now can you tell me the secret of how you improved your Somali writting? Did JB give you night classes via the web? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted December 4, 2008 ^^ It has not improved. It's the same it always was (broken Somali laced with class ). This story was inspired by JB's complaint of long lines though. Here is a photo to go with the words.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted December 4, 2008 So, which one of these Faraxs is JB? By the way is the dude sitting at the back really wearing lady's hat? the black hat dude..I guess that is the one in story aint it, ya NGOnGE? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted December 4, 2008 ^^ Exactly who I thought people would mistake for JB. That guy should be in Hollywood (the one in the photo, not JB). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted December 4, 2008 Is Bow! an actual Somali phrase? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gheelle.T Posted December 4, 2008 ^^ Bow, kow, qow, and more are Khaldaamiin's way of expression. Don't think NGONGE can answer what they all mean though, you getta wait for JB. Ngonge, do they allow absentee ballot in SL? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuune Posted December 4, 2008 Lily, bow is similar to naw, gaw or weger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted December 4, 2008 Gheelle, not need for JB. They're vocal exclamations and not phrases or expressions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted December 4, 2008 LOL, but its such a weird expression, I cant imagine someone just saying 'bow' , the though of it makes me laugh. The same with gaw and naw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
