Depends where you are It has a completely different meaning in the north. Something similar to 'uskag' (dirty). Not to be confused with dooro (choose). MMA Screw = bool Screwdriver = dismis Saw [jigsaw] = miinshaar Hammer = dube Chimney = saqaf [shoolad] - (saqaf = Afro Comb Shoolad = Cooker ) Nail = musbaar Pliers [pincer] = biinso (not sure) Drill = dalooliye Wrench = baanad Crowbar = sabarad Axe = faash Shovel = majarafad Kuwii hore waxaan u fasiray sida badanaa Soomaali badankeeda u yaqaanaan, sida Reer Koonfureedka, Galbeedka iyo Waqooyi Bari u wada yaqaanaan. Saqaf, biinso, kiyaawo, kashawiito iyo wixii la mid ah ayaa loogu yaqaanaa. ------------- MMA , Shovel = badiil? It's badeel ! Correcting MMA in somali,Caawa safiican baan u seexan. I know, sister, though, in badeel dad dhahaan, dad kale, however, dhaho badiil jiro. Isla dadkaas fariinka baabuurta ayee badeel ugu wacaan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saqaf, biinso, kiyaawo, kashawiito iyo wixii la mid ah ayaa loogu yaqaanaa. I beg to differ saxib. I can't see how the majority of Somalis call a chimney 'saqaf'!

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 8, 2008 Duqa, ereyga "chimney" Afsoomaali wax lagu dhahaba maku jirto. Very few people use it, and kan ugu dhaw ay isticmaalaan waa saqaf aan arkay, ku jiro aniga. Saas lee ula jeeday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted March 8, 2008 Waa laga yaaba inay tahay kalmad labo micno leh laakin dadka badani waxay odhan lahaayeen 'saqaf' waxay tahay 'Afro Comb' marka hore. I suspect an SOL poll is in order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
