NGONGE Posted October 31, 2007 Ghanima, I almost went on Sunday. I was supposed to go to the maqaaxi to meet a couple of people who would have joined me and go from there. Big mistake! At any rate, I got home later than usual but with no show to talk about. Heh. ps Serenity didn't go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted October 31, 2007 ^^ What happened you sat there for the whole nyt talking (or fighting) outside the maqaaxi?? Serenity was not there because she thought you was coming and got scared and backed out last min! I don't know what you have done to her and Val, both are terrified of you! Zenobia! Ouch!

-Lily- Posted October 31, 2007 Thanks Jimcale and Dahia, I just thought it was odd for random strangers to call you 'Ina Adeer' and if there were hidden connotations in those words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted October 31, 2007 ^There's a hidden conotation with the word Ina Abti in the north. Faaraxs, say 'Ina Abti' to girls they fancy. Just, so you know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted October 31, 2007 ^^NO way!! stop starting rumours you! it is people who are related to you from your mothers side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacpher Posted October 31, 2007 ^True but a simple smile or just honest aboowe macaane could be taken as such. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed Posted October 31, 2007 Yes, that's true Ghani, but when a random stranger says it, especially when you are the only girl in the crowd that gets the 'Ina Abti' treatment, waa wax culus. It's stems from the odd tradition, where you can marry the son of your Abti but it's considered ceeb to marry your adeers son. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted October 31, 2007 The only ppl I call abowe are my brothers and male cousins, a once harmless word has somehow been transformed into a 'come hither' word. Macane is one you definately want to reserve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted October 31, 2007 ^^ It's not the words themselves that have changed meaning. The words are as they've always been. It's the way they're said. In fact, even the dreaded (for you girls) word naaya can has a different meaning when the person uttering it is doing so with a twinkle in his eyes and a quivering lower lip.
