When Xaaji Cumar returned from his overseas trip, his youngest son met him at the airport.

 

 

Xaaji Cumar: ii waran aabo?

 

Son: waa illaahay mahadii aabo. Bashbash iyo barwaaqo.

 

Xaaji Cumar: Haye, reerku see yahay

 

Son: waa iska ok

 

Xaaji: Haye

 

Son: Wax cusub ma jiran reerka. Mafiiqda oo naga jabtay mooyaane.

 

Xaaji: Heheh...Haye, oo maxaa ku dhacey

P.s. Your somali is getting better.

[nuune]

Hilarious indeed

 

 

Waiting for what Norf would say about this

[NGONGE]

^^ Norf will probably ask someone to translate it for him in private. :cool:

[Ibtisam]

I hope you all know Ngonge did not make this up himself, it is a common story. I am just impressed he was able to write it ALL in somali!

[Jacaylbaro]

....... Norf has just sent this to his other half for translation. I recently figured out it is her that helps him a lot without getting paid ,,

[NGONGE]

Ibti. Of course it is a common story. I just added the Burco twist to it (mostly one line). Heh.

How many reer Burco have you heard say 'reerku see yahay?' saxib?

[NGONGE]

^^ Shows how versatile I have become.

[nuune]

^^ usheeg inaad multi dielect noqotey

 

 

Ngonge, maybe we could translate that into Maay Maay dielect or pure Xamari classical lingo.

 

The last line of your story in Xamari accent would be like this:

 

bax qawaadkaaga iyo iskaarbahaaga cunee

[N.O.R.F]

I completely reject the exchanges between the old man and his son as being anything resemling that befitting of Burcaawis.

 

I'll edit to suit. Hadowto,,,,

[NGONGE]

^^ I bet it'll be full of grunts that make no sense at all.

[nuune]

^^^ He already started, look his "hadowto"

[NGONGE]

^^ Woo eska hadlaya. He'll never do it. Balan oon bu ku qaadaya..

[Abtigiis]

loooooooooooooooooooool@Ngonge! Waryaa waa sheeko heer sare ah!

 

 

I never thought it that way in terms of sequencing, but there was this guy called Mahad from my home areas who will always stop me under a blazing sun, and tell me

 

Him: kuwii dhaawacahaa in qaar la xidhay ma maqashay?

 

Me: Dhaawac maxaya?

 

Him: Kuwii gaadhigu la rogmaday

 

Me: Xagee?

 

Him: Abdiraxmaan dheere yaaba ku jiraye

 

Me: Adbiraxmaan dheere waa kee?

 

Him: Kii Ardo furay

 

Me: Ardadee?

 

(disregarding my question)

 

Him: Maalin dhaweyd unbaaba la soo daayey

 

Me: Ayo? maxaa loo xidhay?

 

Him: Ina Afwaranlaa dacweeyey.

 

.....and then it goes on and on.
