Pissed off. I can't believe I've become so disillusioned with Somalis I can't actually wait for their balkanization. Bloody i-selectors starting this mess. Balaayo idinla goosatay :mad:

This one is my favourite, Alpha... reminds me of Addis. Hope to one day understand more than just the gist of songs like this, Amharic is a rich language just like ours.

Well excuse me for being born in qurbaha and having never lived back home, you can't rub your fluency in my face :mad: I'm working on it though... but all things considered, I'm pleased with my level of Somali, and the fact I know more languages than you do :P

I'd say you are, yes. You've lived in Hargeisa for several years now dee. I think what I need is 6 months or so in the tuuloyin... might spend an entire year or year and a half in Ethiopia in 2015-2016 if funding comes through for me, so hopefully then I'll be able to perfect my Somali *and* Amharic while I'm in the field :P

And maybe keep up my Hugh Grant streak with another movie (About a Boy?) to reward myself for a productive day :)

Ethiopian passport issued to "David Motsamayi" in 1962, Mandela used it to enter the UK before returning to Ethiopia to receive training in guerrilla warfare. Interesting stuff...

"Aqoon waa maxay? Waa waayo-aragnimo la ururshey."

 

Found this interesting definition today. Do you agree?

If I understood it correctly (knowledge is the accumulation of experiences), then I agree with it in part. Maybe wisdom is the better term because there are many forms of knowledge, what life experience gives you is only a part.
