RedSea Posted August 22, 2006 assalamu calaykum, what an incredible and artistic yet informative peace of a thread this is, and who else is better suited to teach it then our own Af Somali expert, Mr. Macruuf? I know most of these terms/nouns, thanks to one year that I have spent my life with my grandmother, honorable Ayeeyo Canbaro Adan in upper Hawd regions. After I returned to Hargeysa, I have already mastered the nomadic lifestyle and hence was better in the way I pursued the other aspects of my life both in Hargeysa at the time and here in U.S today. Baadiyo meel ka fiican maleh oo qofku marka uu yaryahay akhlaada lagu soo baro, Nabigeeniiba miyi/baadiye ayaa lageeyey markuu ciyaalka ahaa(salalahu calayhi wasalam). If I were to tell you the ones that I knew already and the ones that I learned in thanks to MMA. I know these- LAGANAY/GANAN=wax la tuuray ama se lariday (something being let go swiftly) CEESAAN: Ri da' yar oo qaan gaadh ah, diyaar u ah in ay caruur dhasho. ALEELO: shay yar oo cad cad, sida lasheegay. RIMMAY: term used stricly for pregnant she camels. QURBAC: it's not a "Rati", it's rather young he camel ready to be a man. FAQA: Somali men are known to go by two's and they faq, meaning they speak in lower voices secretly. SIBRAAR:shay laga sameeyo mass oo lagu cigaalo haamooyinka ama shay biyaha lagu shubto. The ones that I knew but didn't understand due to dialect difference are: Faraanfar, which I pronounce as Fadhaanfadh in my Hargeysawi dialect. Fiida, which I spell differently which is fiiqda or the tip of something, caarada in other words. Ebidey, I also spell it as Ibaday ama igu kalifay as I know it. The others I've just learned now: Hayjad? Mayaayi?ro Macluul? Farma? Inkastoo aan mararka qaar aan ku yar dhex lumay erayadan, hadana waan iska qabsan ee hada sii wad casharka Macalim Macruufow. Thanks, Assalamu calaykum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raula Posted August 22, 2006 Ok: only ones i could guess. Ebidey(or as RED said) ibaday=an afliction (again as said). Macluul-caato or skinny/slender/lean body. Inta kale magaranaayo. although I would point out that in swahili(which similarly to somali, some words are derivatives of Arabic & portuguese lingos) MAYAAYI means YELLOW or the color relations to yellow.

RedSea Posted August 23, 2006 inta kale waa intii horay loo sheegay,sida aan kusoo dhiganay casharadii hore, kor eeg, halkaasay ku yaalaaneh. Laakin, Idinku garta Ramad Raybad Dhanbalada uuro doorbiday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted August 23, 2006 Salaan... Xaniifa, adigii hadaadan ereyadaan kaseynin, anaga intee joognaa. Kamoon yaaqeey, casharka noo fur. Mud. Baddacas, nin loo gali karo maba tihid. Qatari cadiim runtii. Ereyadaa na weydiisayna hadaa dib ugu noqdo waxaan u maleynaa inaa ka gartay dhanbalasho iyo doorbiday. Dhambalasho waan keeni la ahayba, ma dhambaal ayee wadaagaan? Doorbiday waxaa laga wadaa wax qof damcay, yacni 'choice' ahaan. Hebel wuxuu ka doorbiday intuu joogi lahaa magaaladaan in uu magaaladaas aado. Hadaan usoo noqdo leyligii hore, waa siduu badanaa Sharmaarke u sharxay inkastoo macaluul ahayn suu u dhigay. Macaluul = Caato, qaliir, xiito, xayeesi [buugga kaliya ereyga 'caato' ayaa ku qoran, inta kale anaa iskaga daray si aan idiin tuso suu Soomaaliga qani u yahay.] Ebidey = Dhameysay Xeesha = Xeesho [ama xeelad] iyo tabta waa iskumid Tabta = [Kor aqri.] ________________ Leyliga maanta: Fadadey Jeesna [ama jees] Dhacar [ma'aha 'dacar' yaah] Jugleey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdulladiif Al-Fiqih Posted August 23, 2006 ^^Ma buug-baad kasoo guurineysaa sxb? Takale, waxaad qortaa af-soomaaligga maalinkasta la isticmaalo...not waxa buuggaadta luggu qoro. Jees=waa dhowr qoys oo meel wada dagan(Miyigga) Heyjad=Mawjad Sibraar-waa kiish maqaar sagaaro/yac lagga sameeyey oo caanaha/biyaha luggu shubto Ramad-waa raadka dabka ee kulul Raybad-waa geed Dhanbalada-lagga soo guuriyey uuro-waa qiiqa dabka ama habaaska dabeysha doorbiday-waa markaad wax waxkale ka dooratid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedSea Posted August 23, 2006 Originally posted by Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar: Leyliga maanta: Fadadey Jeesna [ama jees] Dhacar [ma'aha 'dacar' yaah] Jugleey [/QB] bal hada aan isku eego wixii Allah iga garansiiyo Fadadey? Magaran. Jees: waa reer kaliyah (singular), dhowr qoysmaaha sida uu M.M sheegay, ee reerkaasina had jeer waa reer geeljire la jooga si ay geela u hayaan, badanaa waxay dhacdaa marka abaaraha ee reerku kala guuro. Dhacar: geed qadhaadh, amaba se wax lagalay ama la sameeyey. Tusaale: "maxaad ii dharinaysaa ma dhacar dhiig ayaan galay" Jugleeyey/juglayn: laba noqotaa, mar waa iyada oo cagaha dhulka lagu dhuf dhufto, amaba se marka qofku uu dabaalanayo uuna nasanayo dabaasha gudaheeda. Ramad:waa geelah (marka uu ramadku dayrdhalo). Dhanbalada: dhinacyada Raybad: waa geed adag, oo laga sameeyo ulaha sida budhka, iyo wixii lamid ah. inta kale M.M ayaa sheegay.

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted August 25, 2006 Dhacar: geed qadhaadh, amaba se wax lagalay ama la sameeyey. Tusaale: "maxaad ii dharinaysaa ma dhacar dhiig ayaan galay" dhacar aan ku dhahay, duqa, not dacar oo laga wado wax qareer ama dhanaan ah. Kor ayaan ku sheegay inay ahayn dacar. Isku tijaabi mar labaad. Casharka wuu sii socon doonaa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted September 12, 2006 Ar meeshaan waaba ilooway. Soori aqiyaarta. Intee mareynay. Ar buugga hada ma i agyaalo, ee mar kalaa keenaa, laakiin Bishaaro ereyga jees labo micno uu lee yahay, kan badanaa la yaqaanana waa kaa tiri oo 'jeesto' laga wado suurada. [Axmed Cumar Jees mar walba markaa magaciis maqli jiray saas u maleyn jiray, ar kan jeesto badanaa, oo maxaa loogu bixiye isweydiin jiray.] Anigaba waa igu cusub yahay micnaha jeeska kale laga wado qoys.
