STOIC Posted February 13, 2008 Why are you are pissed? You are not a Borana are you? Garam Garam Waaxid FB...You didn't know I was one of them.On a serious note we both know that it is a demeaning word to our brother/sisters that speak the language.I have yet to come across any one that speaks that language happy with that word.Sometimes men speak lightly of things that never affect them.I have seen the user of that language not happy with the term.Genuine wisdom dictates that you don't refer people to what they don't like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway,you remember back home it never bothered anyone. Today,these crazy walendos call anyone from Kenya Garam Garam,but,whoever takes a Mlendo serious is definetly a crazy person. L0L@Garam Garam. I always refer it to those whose Somali is not understandable, and those with the questionable/ unidentifiable qabiil lineage L0L@Unidentifiable lineage. Abayo,everyone is not lucky as you to be born among warriors. Stoic speaks fantastic Somali,its his written Somali that looks an amalgamation of what seems to be like Somali & ancient Swahili . I am impressed with you little bro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umu zakaria Posted February 13, 2008 I thought Garam garam was a term used to refer to those people who dont speak good somali not accent. If that is what it means then there are garam garams every where from every tribe, but if it used as Awlugeeye says, then it is offensive and we should not use it.

Separatist Posted February 13, 2008 Originally posted by Abdillah: [QB] Why has it become almost fashionable, nowadays, for almost all somali kids growing up in the west to claim, "I can barely speak spoken somali, and I can't write it at all". It is really sad. Speaking Somali is considered(in some Somali environs)being uncivilised . I kind of grew up in such an evironment. Afrikaanimo iga dheh! Contrary to the European societies(who are deemed to be civilised and we love to simulate) are so proud of their languages and traditions. And even push their children to learn their mother tongue/tradition even if they are born outside their home country. Growing up I remember waan ka faani jirnay in aan cunno Ugali(soor). And now I envy Norwegians who eat a thousands old meal every thursday(young and old in every homestead). You'll find Somali, Swahili, Norwegian and of course Ingiriis in my language thesaurus.
