Troll, Shah and Sheeko

[SayidSomal]

"W/s saciid aka ilk boqol [big Grin]"

:confused:

ma kaangaruu baa ku feedhay - mise soonka ku suuxshay?

[NGONGE]

Sayid, I can never refer to myself as Dhandhan (even if I wanted to). I have tried to say that word a million times and could never get it right. In fact, the 'dh' sound in Somali just does not work with my tongue. I, instead, have devised many clever ways of avoiding words with the sound 'dh'. Wuu slap-gareeyay, taste-garey, etc. (never fails and people mistake me for ilbax rather than badow).

 

P.S.

Adiga macalin oo wax walba yaqaan. Can you start me a thread that lists as many Somali nursery rhymes as possible. I have realised that most people pretend to know Somali but when you ask them for the basic (such as things they sang as kids) they all puncture fooqal puncture.

"lol@ilko boqol" - did he just call me ilka jiir?

 

 

xaradheere - maxaa lagu daraa?

 

Qardho - maxaa ku xiga?

 

Burco - something about the nebiga!

 

[-Serenity-]

I cant blv we're just halfway through Ramadan!

 

I booked the last week off and I thought it was next week all along. But its the week after!! And now I'm going to have to fast all of next week and work .

 

NG - adigu luqad kasta waad ku carab laadahay, so whats new?

[Juxa]

xaradheere waxa lagu daraa pirates, bazukas and baroon.

 

why are you calling wiilka dhaandhaan? i have never seen seedi kaa falfalxun

[Buuxo]

hi all ,Ramadan kareem.

 

 

Serenity, I can't beleive it's gone so fast. This Ramadan doesn't feel like Ramadan.Don't know why?

[SayidSomal]

Ngonge:

1. Daadahey damale

2. Nuune

3. Huweeya

4. Onkad iyo Hilaac

5. Waxar iyo Naylo

 

and of course my favourite of all of them - which is called Qardho - do you want me to recite this one to you?

[Oz]

juxa am okay walaal, how are you. adiga kaaley qoftaan lee marwalba la jirta. This time you have to go against her.

[NGONGE]

^^ I want you to recite ALL of them. My observations have revealed that not most people know all the words (and some don't know them at all).

 

Serenity, LOOK! A tongue:

i like the way aad afafka isgu qasaysid - it takes wakhti dheer in aan understand waxaad leedahay.

 

gormaan ngonge seedi u noqday - mise aadiga isula jeeda - my answer depends on your reply.

[Buuxo]

Here Ng,

 

Hurdooy hurdooy kaaley

Hurdo cafimaadey kaaley

Indhaha nuunow shab-ku-dheh..shagagax(sound effect) !

i soo wac - and i might even humour you with them in an indian accent

[NGONGE]

^^

Is that all that got your goat? Seedi? And there I was thinking you'll oppose the word 'wiilka'.

 

Edit:

"I so wac" always, ALWAYS gives me the impression that I'm invited to stab someone's side with my finger. You know, a kidney stab with the finger. I do it, you shout 'wac'.

 

Then again, it's better than i so qarac I suppose.

[Juxa]

hurdo hurdo kaalay

indho nuune shab ku dheh

shab ku dheh shalalax kudheh

hurdadii ku heysa

ana waa iheysa

huuwaaye huuwaa

hooyadaa majoogo

kor iyo koonfur aaday

kabaheedi qaadatay

 

hurdo hurdo kaalay!

[NGONGE]

See what I mean? Two versions of the same rhyme already.
