OLOL Posted March 3, 2006 Here is the game....Every Somali city has an english word in it...if you ain convinced word is not english as CAD in BALCAD or LOB in Buulobarde -- go and check it with dictionary.com Think of a city and find out the english word in it... like this Kissmaayo Mogdishu Baidao. Hargaysa Marka Jilib Bossa*** o Afgooye Afmadoow Buuloburte Balcad Matabaan Qandala Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maf Kees Posted March 3, 2006 They way you're doing it is just silly. You have to try a different approach. Stop reading the words and listen. You can get Mocca Tissue out of Mogadishu or Beau Sauce out of Bosaso. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted March 3, 2006 Originally posted by OLOL: Kissmaayo Abaa magaalada haiiga ciyaarin wax Kiss la dhahaayo majirto ee waa Kismaayo Caddeey which originates from a Swahili word of Kisima meaning a "Well" ama Ceel. we have our own lingo called "Af Jinni" and those of us from the Greater Kista we say, we live for three things.. Beach, Ball (Soccer) and Beautiful Women.. now honestly tell me what more could a guy want.. PS. My Hooyo (may allah s.w have mercy on her soul) who was a Sijui (Born and bred in Kenya) used to get annoyed with my elder brothers whenever they spoke the lingo at home simply because they called it "Af Jinni" and she would be like "i don't want the language of the devil spoken in my house" Poor Mother Peace,Love & Unity.
