Mr.Faarax Posted March 1, 2006 Ok, I know this might belong in the joke section, but then again it could be a serious issue so therefore i put it in the General section. I know every somali in here had to learn english or deal with someone with broken english one time or another, so lets be honest, Tell us some incidents you had with language barriers. I have millions, but i will start one. In my 7th grade year, I was in the soccer team with alot of other somali boys. We had this white coach who didnt like blacks :rolleyes: go figure. Anyways, He used to scream at us to come early to practice, sometimes come in the locker room, shouting move it move it! anyways we had a boy who's name was **** for confidential reasons** apparantly came with out socks that day and asked for everyone if they had extra, but no one did. But there was extra socks in one of the lockers. This guy had mad english problems, so he asked this one guy what to say to the coach..he told him . when the coach came running in the gym, full of football players and soccer players, He screamed..." alright guy, lets go!' young hussein screamed: "koooj Kooooj! coach : " YEES!" yH : " i NEED SEKIS IN THE LOCKER!" ***everyone laughed*** coach : *coach silent at this point *thinking did he just say " I need sex in the locker" or maybe it is some little trouble maker cracking jokes. yH : " Koooj Koooj!" * still thinking the coach didnt hear him. Coach: "Shut your mouth, stop moving like gurls com'on!" **everybody was still cracking over that because the coach is mean dude* yH : " Kooj why yu abuse me, i am no girl" *** the locker room shaked wit laughter** I was thinking at this point...oh god that is it he embarrased us. but i couldnt hold back my laughter. The coach told him he couldnt play that day. Now i see the dude, he sit around coffee shops screaming " of koorse, of the problem of the beeble". God you gotta luv somalis, we break and bruise this language like no other. Words learned from private schools back home. " silly question haaf no answer!"

RedSea Posted March 2, 2006 Assalamu Calaykum, Good jokes diagaale indeed, although I didn't like the content of the jokes. Nevertheless, I will also tell you good joke since you started this whole thing for once. Ok it goes like this, Once upon a time there was this Somali lady who wanted to take the bus when she arrived at the bus stop she diddn't know if the bus had left or not, so she turned to of the poeple standing at the bus stop to ask if the bus she was looking for which was bus #18 had left. The somali lady said to a guy standing near by. "Hooyo bus lumber 18 xoving( moving) she meant bus number 18 moved away. Another one, there was this somali lady whom was getting interviewed for some legal documents when she was asked her age and she said " I am dirty (thirty) and my husband is dirty( thirty two) too. If pronounce thirty with the American excent you will kind a get the choke. Get it. That's all for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guhaad Posted March 2, 2006 Red: " I am dirty (thirty) and my husband is dirty( thirty two) too. If pronounce thirty with the American excent you will kind a get the choke. Get it. here is my two riyaal donation to the thread. once there was this Somali employee at a store. one day the manager invited all the employees and said 'today we will have a party in the break room'. Jimcaale who was standing next to Samater, looked at him and said, 'Samatarow u sheeg anigaa aadaamaya'. thinking that the manager said prayer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB Posted March 2, 2006 A Somali employee came to work late one day and his employer was furious and called him to his office and demanded Faarax to explain why his dusty behind was late and here is how their conversation went. “Why are you late Mister?†“Because I was opening my wife†meaning divorcing his wife. “why†asked his visibly saddened Boss. “because she entered my ocean†= interfering with his faaraxnimo business†“what happened, she was very good lady†“waryaa what’s 15 for you, gaalyahow gaalku dhalay†= “that’s none of your bloody business Gaalyahow Gaalku Dhalay†if you don’t know the meaning of that then Hakugu Taagnaato. I Love My Somali People To Death and May God Bless Them All. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedSea Posted March 2, 2006 Assalamu Calaykum, That was all funny guys, but here is another one that happened in Somalia. Back in the day when we had Hargeysa and Muqdisho under same adminstration. It goes like this. Once upon a time a truck full of passengers drove from Moqdisho to Hargeysa. On the truck there was Northerner and lady from the South. The lady recently visited the country from somewhere in the United states or Britain. So she kind a had the English language still lingering in her ears. As you can imagine the truck was full so people had to really be patient with each other. As the trip went along, the ladies' legs touch the Northerner guy everytime she stretches. Then she would say "Iskuusme" (Excuse me), the guy thought she said iskuus in somali. So every time her feet touch him, she would say iskuusme and the guy would crouch together in respect. When the end of their trip was near, she said it again "Iskuusme" the guy stood up in loud voice screaming in Somali " naa tan iyo Xamar ayaan iskuusanee naga tag". Assalamu Calaykum.

Baluug Posted March 2, 2006 I had a friend in Brooks whose name was also Liibaan, he always said "doe" when he meant to say "though". One day, my wife and I were at his place and he saw that I looked tired, so he says to my wife, " Liban looks like for da sleep, doe"........thought that was funny.....
