How Somali's ask for the hand of a bride-to-be

Recommended Posts

Sida Gabdhaha la isuu waydiistoo ( among differnt communities in the Somali nation)

 

Where I live

 

"Asalaamu calaykum. I, represenitng our boy Liiban Dahir Yusuf, hereby ask for the hand of your esteemed daughter Nimco Jaamac Kooreeye. Inaad na siisaan ood noo meherisaan ayaan idin waydiisanaynaa."

 

Muqdisho

 

I have never been to Muqdisho, but Dr. Abdullahi tells me that he once attended one similar occassion; and the man who was representing the groom-to-be [poiniting his hand to the boy sitting to his left] said:

 

"Aqyaarta, waa la idin salaamay. Xariifkan sitting to my left Iikar aa la dhahaa! Jeesto aas ku magac dheer yahay. Xarfaantiina Fardows aas u kulul yahay. Maxaa ka qabtaan haddaan isugu toosino?"

 

Is it true? I find it less formal but more candid.
