N.O.R.F Posted February 8, 2007 Guess what ku jiidhay means? Jiidey or Jiitey? Jiitey - something/someone has taken/gotten your attention (pulled toward) Jiidey - pulled Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted February 8, 2007 LOL@Farta Xiin ma la galiyey. ^^that's gross waryee. Ku jiidhay means ku madax-maray. al yacni waad ku ku khafiiftay. Maaha? Northern. You're off by hal mayl iyo hodhodho saaxiib. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castro Posted February 8, 2007 Not jiitey or jiiday, that's pulling or dragging, but jiidhay, knocking over or hitting. As in babuur baa jiidhay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cara. Posted February 8, 2007 LOL. Run over, "gaari miyaa ku jiiray?" Regarding fulay and the plural fulay, it's all about which syllable is stressed. In fulay, singular, the stress is on the second syllable. Fulay, plural/feminine, the stress is on the first syllable. That's why the ending is more rushed. This is coming from a few sleepless nights in childhood trying to figure out how "inan" (young man) was different from "inan" (young woman). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted February 8, 2007 Castro, waxaasi waa hawlahayga adeer. laygama badiyo . Cara, another name for fulay is biiq. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castro Posted February 8, 2007 Xiin, that's true, and that's why I asked. Occasionally when my mind has had it's fill of JTrees and JTables, I go back to my childhood and remember all those phrases I learned but never go to use very much. Like this one: Dhariga ka soo rog. Anyone know what it means? P.S. Cara, your Somali is immaculate. All you need is some gabayo to compete with Xiin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
