Jacaylbaro Posted October 24, 2011 This happens to a young man from Diaspora. The relocates to Hargeisa for work and with a very much limited Somaliland language but he is still trying to fit in and get used to the people, culture as well as the language. Mohamed, is such great man working and living in a house where he lives with some of his friends. One day there was a knock on the door and he responded. It was early in the morning and he just woke up but when he opened the door, there is this guy standing there with dirty clothes, dusty shoes, red eyes, big hair and looks rough. Mohamed was shocked at first but then decided to talk to him. Mohamed: Yes Man: Waar keen Xashiishkii Mohamed: Shocked, looking around like if anybody is hearing this “Xashiish” ? Man: Haa dee, Xashiish kii keen Mohamed “with is broken Somali”: Waar anagu Xashiish ma iibinee naga tag Man “looking at the guy and wondering”: Waar xashiishkii keen dee muxuu leeyahay Mohamed: Waar anaga maahee kuwaan nagu xiga waydii Now the conversation is getting tough as this guy is insisting Mohamed to give him the “Hashish” and the guy trying to convince his that they do not sell “Hashish” here it is probably one of the neighbors who does that. After a long struggle the man now realizes that there is something wrong here and wanted to be more clear. Man “now pointing at a garbage in front of another house”: Waar xashiishkaasoo kele miyaanuu kuu oolin ? Mohamed: Shit ! ! Ma Qashin baad u jeedaa ??? Man : Yes, hadaa maxaanu sheegaynaa. Now Mohamed finally understands that the world “Hashish” in Somaliland means “Qashin” or “Garbage” in English. He never heard of that word before and when this rough-looking guy asking him “Hashish” early in the morning he thought he is talking about “Weed” and did not want to be arrested for something he doesn’t sell. The man was simply a garbage collector and he does that every other day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faarax-Brawn Posted October 24, 2011 You guys dissing these stories are sad...But the story comes out flat because it is better told in person. Especially with the reer woqoyi accent. I love listening to my friends who have numerous stories when they come back. L0L. Like the "biciid" story. Apparently, the diasporans are called biciids and if he/she has been there a while, he/she becomes a biciid geesaha ka dheceen, meaning he spent most of his/her money therefore no much shaxaad. waar biciidku ma geesa dhacay,they would ask...Reer woqooyigu waa funny. But anyway, us sujuis have had our own "stories" for years. . Like the kid who was asked, what sub clan he blongs to" . He posed for a minute struggling to name his sub clan (all the while umming , erring and eehing, while pointing to the sand)....Giving up he turns to his friend and asks in Swahili, "Oyeeh, niambie, wale wana ingianga mchanga waitwa nani"? L0L. ( Yo!,Tell me, who are those that go into the sand?>?") Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mustafe Posted November 1, 2011 Anigu waxaan maqalay mid yaroo dhaqan celis ah oo Burco maalin is yidhi toast iibso. Mac macaanle iyo meelaha wax lagu gado mid ka mid ah intuu tegey buu yidhi saaxib toast isii. Kii meesha haystey baa ku yidhi oo toastkuna waa maxay adeer. Kii yaraa markaasuu yidhi waa roodhi la gubey adeer. Kii meesha haystaa isagoo yaaban intuu cunugii cabaar eegay ku yidhi,"adeer roodhi gubatey lama cunee, yay caloosha kaa qabane, hoo tan caadiga ah bilaash iskaga qaado," Lool.
