Why do Somalis pass each other?

[Buubto]

I always wondered why do they stare so hard, can't even say "iska waran". I still can get the answer maybe they too excited perhaps seeing a Somali on the street loooooooool, but don't have the guts to say "iska waran". They could stare & take their time as long as they want but when they get into car accident while they driving a taxi I will be laughing in the other corner. Loooooooool. A while ago I was down town with a non Somali friend, a Somali men so me he couldn’t stop staring at me, until a tram nearly hit him. Oh god wat a strange ppl.

Salaamzz,

 

I think it depends where you live. Let me explain. I once lived in a city where there a large somali population resided. I would ride subways with somalis, see in the supermarket, streets, etc., but we would pass each other like we didn't see each other in the 1st place. Even the university I attended in that particular city, the somalis there had same attitude. But when I did move to a city where there were hardly any Somalis around, I noticed that the attitude here was different. If a Somali happens to see me in the street, college, or work... boy do they act like they're glad to see me!! lol. Anyway, a simple hello doesn't hurt anybody, and I still show my love to my people where ever they may be at.

 

~Peace~

I detest the tactless personal questions people ask. That is why I avoid acknowledging stangers. The minute you say hello, their next question is likely to be a personal one: what is ur name, where do u live, are u married, which shcool do u go to or how much money do u make blah, blah, blah!

Kk....good topic sis yes i've been wounding why somalian don't say hi...it has to be me saying not them.... i don't know why, Even arab i have to say salam to then they be like oh w/salam...i think it's ur society that u live in now make us do that....that's all i have to say....oh by the way..... HI...

[Gediid]

Good Question Kool Kat tho you make it sound like its a problem across the board.I personally believe most Somali girls will greet anyone except a Somali dude thats why I don't bother.I just walk on in most cases.

Aduun waxa ugu daran mido foolxun oo ku qabata thats why I become selective in my choice of who to salan iyo who to not salan.Sounds mean but hey at least I don't regret it after lii qabto

[Batuulo]

looooool cool kat nice topic, i asked my self.

I didn't got enough answer, but me personaly I never pass somali without saying Asalama Alaykum..

cool_kat -- Disseminate the greeting of peace among you ..
