Maxaad u guursan wayday? kkk. "Adeer dirawal fiican ayaad tahay". "Haa adeer 23 sano ayaan dirawal ahaa, gacanta ayaa ii fadhida". "Kuma fahmin ii sharax". Waxaan ka wadaa gacanta ayaa baratay dabeecadaha isteerinka iyo is bedbedelka geerka/marshada". "Cajiib, weligaa shil ma gashay?". "Haa intaanay gacantu ii fadhiisan ayaan subax hore ka dul booday askari jiifa iyo mid agtaagnaa. Alxamdulilah khasaare ma dhicin, laakiin adeer waxaan ku waydiiyey maxaad u guursanwayday nin weyn ayaad noqotaye?". " Waa runtaa laakiin weli indhaha ayaan ii fadhiisan". "Waa runtaa adeer indhaha fadhiisi iyo meelaha kale ee bood boodka leh haday jiraan".

the difference between north and south korea has become very stark according to this article i was reading recently. to an outsider its fairly obvious these day of how to differentiate between the the 'peoples' of korea.

 

the north, according to the findings of this article still maintain a more formal korean language set. the school curriculum is based on formal korean, they're taught korean in a regimental way including reciting traditional korean poetry by memory. off course, this is infused with the current dictatorship's political sentiments but its also become a desired ideal particularly from older south koreans. the south due to its 'developed' economy speaks a more modern form of korean which the media encourages and the north claims has become diluted and can no longer be deemed 'korean'. some south.koreas also expressed dissatisfaction with the loss of identity and loss of culture, particularly of young people.

 

similarly, the physical shapes of the two koreas is another big change. the north is said to be gaunt (due to food shortages), fitter (conscription) and 'agile', where the south is developing a taller stature, changes in facial looks (more paler and the desired Caucasian look has seen the increase in plastic surgery). the proximity towards warmer climates at the lower end of the peninsula has also seen toning increase in south korea.

 

with the change in physique and the social fabric, the two koreas have become more and more different in a few generations. the also added the two koreas may experience a change in their ethnic compositions too and this may further lead to 'new ethnic' groups of koreans. change is certainly inevitable but with such major changes occurring within 100 years is largely unheard off.

 

i feel the changes in our recent history, particularly the trouble and strife years (1977-2012), may have serious ramification of our own culture.

^ nonsense sxb. We've been divided as a people for far longer (think back to colonialism) but we still have the same culture, language, traditions and appearance.

i'm sorry but i probably wouldn't be able understand you. i'm also quite dark and you're probably casaan due to your proximity to the coast. we're already different in mind, attitude and ideas. but we're somalis and thats all that matters somaha?

[Haatu]

^ War some of the lightest Somalis I've seen are Northerners. Although your lahjad SUCKS (joke ) I still understand you lot very clearly. As for attitude, all Somalis are full of kibir and and open contempt for 'outsiders' as that imperialist (can't remember his name) mentioned.
