underdog Posted January 30, 2013 Because the rest of you think you're are "civilized" and reer magal, its in poor taste to knock the brother for not knowing any better. He's still your people, dammit! What kind of example are you setting for the less socially adapted if all you can do is make fun of them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QansaxMeygaag Posted January 30, 2013 Neck = luqun; qoor; sur; dhuun Dhako = 1) hide oneself 2) crown of the head, summit. synonyms: baso, dhalo, kug These are dictionary definitions, not from me! So don't accuse Haatu of not knowing Somali because he is right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of us learn the language from our mothers and they are not grammatical in the Western understanding of language...so be patient with people and check facts e.g. in a dictionary. Haatu is RIGHT.

Gap between teeth/fanax is actually considered a mark of beauty in Somali society...and the kid is actually talented, a bit raw, a diamond in the rough.

Someone in English might say "my newborn", "my new child", etc. So if you are not used to someone saying "newborn", it sounds strange. Also accents are different even when you use the same words. Someone from New England in the USA will not speak the same way as a Dixie/southerner or one from the Mid-West... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afterall we did have a great time ridiculing your weak efforts on youtube back in the day. and what great times they were Unders. it was loved by most but hated by you. my vids were landmark. i actually spent plenty of time preparing them and hence why my least watched video has 19,000 hits. i got like 500,000 all together i think. do you remember your favourite one? and what did you make of them? a small critique would suffice.
