Curly Posted March 30, 2004 I find that a lot of the topics on SOL are written in Somali and I can't help but feel exculded, because I'm unable to read Somali and if I were to try it would take me hours to make sense of one sentance much else reply. So I was thinking how many of you lot here actually know how to read and write Somali and how many of you can read and write English. Therefore giving everyone a better idea of what language they should use that will suit the majority when writing a post on SOL. P.S: I'm not dictating just suggesting, hence the poll!

-Serenity- Posted March 30, 2004 Personally, although I can read and write Somali, I just feel like I'm draggin my sentences when I write in it. So I prefer English. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7_steps_2_Heaven Posted March 31, 2004 hori baan waxaan u maqlay practise makes u perfect, marka qufka Soomaaliga eh waa inuu ku da'daalaa in uu luqadiisa hooyo si fiican inuu u yaqaano maxaa yeelay luqadaan kale adiga uma dhalan. Luqada hooyo waa wax lagu faano, luqad aad san leheyna maba uugu ciil bixi kartit. luqadaha kale wey fiican yihiin in la barto laakiin waad inaad ogaataa mida hooyo iney ka muhiim santahay. Rudy - Qac Qaac soomaaligiisa lama fahmaayo maxaad u tiri? Ninkaas luqadiisa aad bey u dhisan tahay walaahi, marka waxaan kula talinaa inaad ka baratit. Pessimistic sue - luqada aan jeclahay waan kuu sheegay soo ma'aha abaayadiis? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saalixa Posted March 31, 2004 salam iam deeply sadden and shocked by the figures i have seen after voting/ I personally of courser voted SOMALI and that was only 11% and english 89% whats going on people, common i understand some peoples situation, but i doubt the fact that 89% of the nomads here can't read and write somali. CK, sis did you see the votes? don't waste your breath. Shame walaahi luqaadada hooyo waa malab, and wax ka fiican helimaysiin so stop the show people.

LuCkY Posted March 31, 2004 Sue If I May Add Your Question I CouLdnt Answer Because WeLL It Just Did Not Work With Me. which do you prefer when writing and reading on SOL? If You'd Made it Two Questions One Regarding Reading and One Regarding Writing then I WouLd Be AbLe to Vote...So I Cant. I Like Reading The SomaLi Others Write ALthough I Prefer To Write In EngLish Since ITs Easier For MOi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diaspora_Dude Posted March 31, 2004 Me both languages are equally the same, even though I prefer to write my posts in mother's tongue (but then the ethical question will rise). How many audience did I alenaited for writing in Somali. Guys & Girls we have to start a new crusade on teaching our fellow lost generation nomads how to read & write our own language otherwise we're doomed.
