Haatu Posted January 12, 2013 I've made this thread in the hope that more knowledgeable nomads can help me out with my linguistic problems. Su'aal: qofka markuu imtixaam galo, wuu ka dhacaa ama wuu ka baasaa. Marka su'aasheyda waxaa weeye, ereyga dhicitaanka gartey ee laakiin sidee baa Af Soomaali 'Pass' lagu dhahaa?

I think the correct expression is imtixanki wan marey (I passed the exam)....I think Guusha u dont have to take literary Afsomaliga is different than English language so when u translate stuff it means something different hadaad tidhahdid imtaxaanka waan hormaray. People will look weird ma imtaxaanku dhaafay lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the correct expression is imtixanki wan marey (I passed the exam)....I think Since imtixaan itself is arabic..when I wrote "imtixaanka waan ku najaxay" it was a joke. Imtixaanka waan marey waad dhihi kartaaa hadaad uga jeedid imtixaanka waan qoray..lakin hada suaashu waa "I passed the exam" ..waan ku guleestayna ayaa ugu dhow. Guul would mean in this context success. I suppose every language has its words that mean different thing depending what you are trying to say... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haatu Posted January 12, 2013 Imtixaanka waan marey would be interpretted by most as 'I've sat the test'. PS: waan fadhiyaa oo buug iyo qalin baan sitaa Macalin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted January 12, 2013 Apophis;907523 wrote: Guul = winning. You win wars, money etc you don't "win" exams. The Somali guul and the English win are used in the same way. Therefore, imtixaanki wan marey = I passed the exam . It's a literal translation and it works perfectly. @Haatu, sxb sit down and learn from your betters Hadalku xaguu ka maraya in this case guul means success. And one can succeed in their exams. Tan kale literal translation never works ee ku noqo LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
