Faheema. Posted May 31, 2011 Absurd – Waxaan suurto galin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted May 31, 2011 No such thing as absured in Somali. The word does not exist, and rightly so. Now tell me what this is called in Somali? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Showqi Posted May 31, 2011 Xururufad ama qalin qore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted May 31, 2011 ^^ Xururufad? But that's absurd (or was it waxaan suurto galin, etc, etc, etc?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted May 31, 2011 lool there is no such word for that ehh..I call it qalin qor but that is not the same as having one word for it "sharpener"....But, I guess since as somalis we werent exposed to many things slowly we try to find words for it sometimes literal words/phrases like "qalin qor" LOL.. salaam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
