Jacpher Posted July 27, 2007 ^You're right. It's gabar but I think it's xamari. I assume you prefer igaarta than baby as in nuune. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted July 28, 2007 Originally posted by buuxo: lol nephthyst,then you can say waa muuseyga or midka i qabo sophist, what is Ooridayda? sounds like my goat Oori ma maqlin miyaa waligaa? I am sure you did since it is included the famous hees qaadaan Magool iyo Shimbir [Eebba ha u wada naxariistee]. Heesta waa Adoo idileey, aroos kuula gala ... Shimbir sings: Asluub badaneey Amaan badaneey Sidii ubaxii U udgoon badaneey Waxaan idileey Kugu oon bixin lahaa [ ] Adigoo idileey Aroos kuula gala Adigoo oorideyda noqdoo Ubad dhala Ilwaad quruxleey And Magool gives her answer: Asluub badanoow Amaan badanoow Sidii ubaxii U udgoon badanoow Waxaan aabiyoow Kugu oon bixi lahaa Adoo aabiyoow Aroos ila gala Anoo ooridaada noqdoo Ubad dhala Ilwaad quruxloow Afsoomaali is a hodan language, a language which we unfortunately never appreciated and developed that far. Anagaa dhulka dhignay afkeena. Ereyga kaliya for wife has more than a half dozen words in Afsoomaali: Oori, afo, arad, maranti, xilo, xaas iyo bilcaan [it can also mean woman]. I think some of them have a particular and different meanings of the general word of wife. Some of them may mean, who knows, a second one [minyaro] or a third one. Or mid la dumaalay. We don't know, the only thing we do now know is that their general meaning waa wife. ---------------- Dad ayaaba meeshaan Afsoomaaligooda iska eber ah. Husband is not 'nin.' The official word in Afsoomaali language for husband is seey. "Heblaayo baa seeygeeda ku geeriyooday ..." waligiin ma maqlin? And what is wrong with nin? If you don't have any problem with 'my husband' -- which it seems some of you don't -- then 'ninkeyga' muxuu qabaa? Ninba ama naagba teeda la quman. Soomaalida dhaqan ahaanba wax amaan ah iyo wax kale iskuma fiicno. Jaceylkooda hadduu jirina waa wax laba isjecel qolkooda ku wadaagaan. They appreciate innerly without overtly displaying publically bogus, dad istustus 'love.' Bishaaro, 'igaar' is not Afmaay, it is Xamari. Ariir = boy/girl ayaa Afmaay ah. It is very interesting igaar/ariir/inan are all unisex words when it comes to both genders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Som@li Posted July 28, 2007 Jac and Hunguri, why would one associate food with wife/husband? Somali is a rich language, and one can apprieciate and enjoy its beauty once you master it. Soomaalidu waxa ay ku maahmaahdaa Geel indhakuul maxuu ka yaqaan! Markaa luuqada ha saluugin inta aadan baran. Some pple use [/i]Gabadheyda[/i] as my wife!
