Haatu Posted January 27, 2016 Ugu horrayn salaan sare reer SOL. Kulanti wacan oo wanaagsan mudda dheer ka dib. Recently a friend of mine started watching Korean dramas (they're apparently very popular). She complained of the mixed emotions she had encountered from the dramas and the love-hate relationship she now has with them. The following piece was created with this in mind. The idea is hers, the execution is mine. For asterisked words, see bottom for definition. ~~Akhris wacan~~ Maalmahan waxaan billaabbey in aan daawado musalsallo Kuuriyaan ah. Markii aan billaabbayey, dan iyo dareen gaar ah kama aanan laheyn. Hase yeeshee, ma aanan filaynin hiyikaca* aan kala kulmey. Alla maxaan jiif la ladi waayey uurkutaallada* aan ka dhaxley musalsalladaas baas! Aadanaha* inta uu noolyahey, wuxuu maraa heerar kala duwan. Wuxuu dhashaa asaga oo qaawan oo aan waxba garaneynin. Gabankii* dhashey waa ka dib waa la daadihiyaa* oo socodbarad ayuu noqdaa. Wax yar ka dibna hadal ayuu billaabbaa, kuraynimadiina* way u sii xigtaa. Dhawr gu'* ka dibna wuu qaangaaraa* oo gaashaanqaad* talo rag la wadaaga ayuu noqdaa, dareen guurna wuu galaa. Guurkiina waxaa u sii xigtaa aabbanimo. Mudda ka dibna wuu hawlgabaa* oo gurjoogtii* ayuu mar labaad ku biiraa, malagiisana* wuu sugaa. Dabadeedna wuu geeriyoodaa oo Eebbihii* unkey* ayuu ku laabtaa. Heer walboo ka mid ah meertaha nolosha aadanaha (human life cycle), waxaa marnaba la waynaynin dareemo si gaar ah qofka u saameeya. Dareemaha waxaa ka mid ah raynrayn, murugo, walbahaar*, yididiillo*, caloolxumo IWM. Dhammaantood waxay aadanaha ku ridaan hiyikac oo laabtiisa* ayay degganaansho u diidaan. Dareemaha qaarkood aadanah wuu soo dhaweeyaa, helistooduna dadaal dheeraad ah ayuu ku bixiyaa. Qaar kalana cagajiidasho* iyo gafuurtaag* ayuu ku sooryeeyaa*. Musalsallada aan waayahan dambe billaabbey marmar waxay igu ridaan rayrayn oo way iga farxiyaan, marmarna intey laabta i gooyaan ayay murugo god dheer la moodo igu ridaan. Marmar waxaan ku tashadaa in aan iska daayo, oo wakhtigayga wax faa'ido leh aan ku bixiyo. Mararka kalana waxaan is arkaa anoo hiraab* joogo oo habeen dhan ku dhafrey*. Ani iyo musalsal baa is haysannaa oo, wacdarana* dhigney. Dhawr jeer u sheegey in aan ka yohoomayo* oo mar dambe aanan is arki doonin. Dhawr jeera "qaybta* xigta oo keliya!" igu sasabiyey! Tixgelin, Haatu iyo saaxiibtiis. *hiyikac: restlessness of the heart *uurkutaallo: uurxumo, bad feelings etc. *aadane: mankind *gaban: male baby *daadihin: helping a child learn to walk by holding their hands and saying "daa dah!" *kuraynimo: the pre-pubescent stage of male children (loosely equivalent to male teenager). *gu': year *qaangaar: to reach puberty *gaashaanqaad: a male who has reached puberty and can take up arms *hawlgab: loosely retirement *gurijoog: those who spend their day at home (the young, elderly and housewives). *malag: death *Eebbe: God *Unkey: created *walbahaar: excessive thinking, depression *yididiillo: anticipation *laab: qalbi *cagajiidasho: reluctance *gafuurtaag: sulking *sooryayn: to welcome *hiraab: last part of night just before dawn *dhafar: to spend the whole night doing something *wacdaro: something amazing *yohoon: to leave a place with the intention to never return *qayb: episode Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haatu Posted February 2, 2016 Bud baa layla dhacayaa! Beri baa islaan reer UK ah dhabar xanuun ku dhacey. Islaantii markii ay dhawr beri xanuun la joogi waysey ayay go'aansatey in ay dhaktarka u tagto, waxayna kaxeysatey gabadheeda si ay u turjunto. Islaantii waxay tiri "Hooyoy, dhakhtarka waxaad ku dhahdaa, habeen walba kolkaan dhinac dhulka dhigo, giirka* ilaa barida bud* baa layla dhacaa!". Gabadhii oo af Soomaaliga uu ku adag yahey, hadalka sidii ay hooyadeed u tiri bay u turjuntey oo waxay tiri "Hooyodey habeen walba bud baa dhabarka lagaga garaacaa". Dhakhtarkii caddaanka ahaa intuu amakaaggey* ayuu weydiiyey "Hooyadaa waxaad weydiisaa, habeenkii imisaa jeer baa budka lagu dhuftaa". Hooyadii waxay ugu warcelisey "Hooyoy habeenkii oo dhan baa layla dhacaa". Gabadhiina isla sidii bay turjuntey. Dhakhtarkii intuu naxey ayuu inanta ku yiri "Hooyadaa waxaad weydiisaa, habeen walba ya garaacaa?". Hooyadii waxay ugu warcelisey "Hooyoy ma garanaayi. Waa un layla dhacaa habeen walba intuu waaga ka baryaaya". Gabadhii sidii oo kale bey hadalka u gudbisey. Dhakhtarkii miskiinka ahaa intuu sasey ayuu warbixin degdeg ah booliiska u gudbiyey, asagoo leeyahey "islaanta habeen walba waa la abuse gareeyaa ee ka gaara intaysan nafta ka go'in". :D *giir: nape of neck *bud: also known as garruun. It's essentially a club like that a caveman would use *amakaag: extreme shock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you a writer now? I'm impressed about your Somali well done keep it up. Hey Blue. Nice seeing you as well. Unfortunately no, I'm not a writer. Just showing off my newly learnt Somali I've had a fair few adventures the past few years in the bush and experienced many new things. I might write about a few of them. If I do, I'll post them here so stay tuned! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
