VelikyVozhd Posted May 16, 2006 I have read in many sources that under the Barre regime, people had to address each other as jaalle (or is it jaal?). This being a masculine term, I am curious as to what the female form is, and what the plural form of both words is? It is very hard to find a good Somali dictionary or else I would not have to ask here. Thanks. Koba Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara. Posted May 16, 2006 Jaalle for either gender, though by my time people were giving Barre/socialism a linguistic middle finger and only used it mockingly. "Jaalle, dameer cabanaya ayaan ku mooday." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
