Mooge Posted August 24, 2013 it is weird. nin weeyn o waxa arkaysa isku shegaya dhalinyaro. looool. walahi i have seen a 28 year old man calling himself youth. in nairobi rag waweyn oo 26 and 27 year old baleh waxa nahay youth. western standard of youth age 10 to 24?? the somali standard is even more strict than western. somali standard is that if you are older than 15 you are a big person.

Alpha Blondy Posted August 24, 2013 LOOL@Mooge, inaar, maa 30-kii baad fooda laga gashey? i'm in this group of people you speak off. sometimes, i feel young and sometimes old by comparison. by a western standard, i feel relatively young balse, the life expectancy here, in the nation's capital, is a mere 55 years and i've already lived half of that, ma garatay?

Mooge Posted August 24, 2013 Alfi, i am quite young ninyoow. i am not even 24 yet, but i always laugh at big goons saying they are youth. ninyoow, they are embarrassment to the community. at one time in nairobi restaurant i told one of the "youth" that he is 28 calling himself youth and everyone laughed. he hates me upto now. ninyoow, once age passes 21 you are an adult. the westerns added another 3 years to help with transition. but somalis never leave the transition period and are calling themselves youth even at 27 and 28 years. ciyalnimada kama weynadan.

Coofle Posted August 24, 2013 it has to do something with Maturity,,,,,I always referred myself as "Dhalinyarada" until one day stranger boys and some girls! started calling me "Adeer", that was my epiphany .... @Alpha you can always stay young in your heart, but yaan lagaa dareemin, act mature , talk mature , the better you fake the more people believe your maturity , and God knows I mastered that art long term ago....in your own time, enjoy being childish, ((I am still a follower of an anime series that was from the late 90s, I wish it finishes so I stop hiding around when looking at it...loolzz..)) as I said maturity is all about acting and taking responsibility like a man .....

Alpha Blondy Posted August 25, 2013 waalahi you're right. they married a year later and had a litter of 7 babies in 11 years. :D:D i'm second youngest. i was born between 1984-1988. i don't actually know the exact year of my birth. it was in the dry season and the rains had just ceased. apparently in that year Bob Geldof visited Ethiopia, too. you see, my parents are considered illiterate by a western standard, maha? ani cunug ama oday baa ahay noo, that is, depending on the circumstance, may istiri aboowe? jiinka iska naar, inaar. clearly they've been lending a helping hand, maha?
