[SayidSomal]

Does anybody recognise this colours or should i do them in english as well???

[Ms DD]

Xamar= Raqay

Beey= Maydh

dhiin= wax dhiima

 

Balse=but

 

Goror iyo hoobo..qadeem ma aha.

[SayidSomal]

Ms DD,

 

when you say xamar = raqay - you are referring to the tree fruit - tamarind (i think in english)

 

beey does not equal to maydh - i think you must be thinking of Maycad (dhirty kind of white - shade to describe colour of camel or horse not white nor grey)

 

LOOOL@ wax dhiima :confused: there is two types of dhiin - 1 is deep reddish-brownish colour - 2 is juice oozing from ripe fruit.

 

hope you benefit from it.

[Baluug]

1. Madow/bootaan/qambi/dhuxul-black, actually dhuxul means "charcoal"

2. Caddaan-white

3. Cagaar/doog-green

4. Buluug-blue

5. Casaan/guduud-red

6. Huruud/Jaalle-I'm guessing this is yellow

7. Dhiin/Kafee-Kafee sounds like "coffee", so I'll guess this one is brown

8. Beey

9. Liinxaali

10. Basali

11. Circasaan

12. Xamar-I thought Xamar was a place, not a colour?

 

Anyways, that's what I know.

As usual with your comments, it's not bitter cracked me up. Hahaha.

 

Sayidka, I think you mistook it for Maydhaan. Maydhanaan or Meydhanaan is a state of taste milk is found in when they are not Dhay or Mac and not Suusac (before they become Garoor or Kalbbaa). Just a little beyond Mayac.

 

Have you ever drank Waraabe-Qandis ? I did and got whuzzy at the end lol.
