Somali twin brothers

[Chimera]

Has anyone ever seen two identical Somali brothers? I have seen female/male twins and female/female but never male/male.

[Che -Guevara]

I did, but how did this crossed your mind, the randomness of it all?

[Som@li]

have seen identical male bros

[Chimera]

Che, I was watching an old movie by Van Damme, Double Impact, it then hit me, i had never come across identical looking Somali brothers.

[winnie]

yes.

van dam... i remember when he was cool.

i feel old now.

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Come to think of it, no. I had seen quite a few mataano sisters, but never males.

 

What is even more surprising is that we have the name 'mataan' for male twins, but not its equivalent in female twin sisters.

Our neighbour back home had an identical twin...And a close friend of mine's father is a twin, not sure whether they are identical or not...

Adam: I went to college with two Somali identical twins. I use to speak and chit-chat with one, at first I though it was just the same guy, and wonder when he had time to go home and change in the middle of the day. I also thought he had a split personality. (See him once and he is happy to see you and chats away for a bit, the next time, the guy is puzzled and kind of just smirking- I was like Somali guys are so strange!)

 

Anyway one of them invited me to go ice skating after college one day, and we were all meeting outside school, when I saw the two of them standing there grinning at me I though I was having a double vision. Then I was shocked because I’d never seen Somali identical twins, grown guys at that.

 

LOL, they had different personalities and nothing like, but the only way I could tell them apart when they tried to trick me for the next two years was one of them had a beauty spot on his neck.

 

 

I would’ve offered to introduce you, but lost contact when I went off to university.

 

If I was a twin, I would've been so much trouble, the things I could do and get away with!! aaah

This demonstrates how small sample sizes leads to erroneous conclusions

 

I know two sets of twin boys (identical and fraternal), but not girls.

 

Hi Ibti.

[Salma]

Yeah, there is:

 

Team 1: Cali & Omar,

Team 2: Hassan & Hussain,

Team 3: Fahad & Faisal,

Team 4: Ismaeel & Ibrahim.

 

Maybe you should come to UAE where they should make a club for somali identical twins

[Paragon]

Lol. I have lived in small village with around 3 pairs (all boys) during my Pri. sch. years.

 

Actually I am yet to see identical Somali twin girls. Would be something.

[Poker]

I know three sets of twin boys. ould never tell apart...

[Cabdow]

I don't mind having three sets of quadruplets oo wiilal ah iyo hal gabara so the mother doesn't get lonely Aaway awliyadii SOL when you need them, Faatixada iyo Qaafleyda yaan la iskala bakhiilin hade, sadax sadax usoo tuura idinkoo maraqsan

 

P.s. I have seen twin girls in the past, but i'm yet to see twin boys, not many of them i guess!!

[Faarax-Brawn]

OK,this needs a poll. Its hard to imagine nnot to have seen a set of twins. Male of female. I am interested in the results.

 

Personally,i have distant fraternal twin uncles . And i went to high school with a pair of identical ones. And i know another pair who were proffesional drs back in Kenya.

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

Both my father and my sister have been blessed with twins. Twins are everywhere in my family.
