How do you say 'guilt' in Somali?

[Faarax-Brawn]

-

I feel guilty I didn't go to the gym today (this year, decade....)

Lool,thats easy dee.

 

A translation of it will sound something like, 'waan ka xumahay inan ka baaqdo "Chymka"

[Qandalawi]

^

 

Then you must feel guilty If by magic you pass while aad salaamin Foxy

[Castro]

^ Waxaan kasii baqaa anoo chymka ka baxsanaya inaan ag maro Foxy.

[Ibtisam]

just say the word wid a somali accent; and there you have a new word added to the list of growing words made up by ppl like me which will one day become known as accepted somali lingo

xaal qaado…. I didn’t mean to hijack your thread...

although both times it was

Shehe

that put the key in the ignition

Am I being accused of doing an R Kelly? Hokay, I put the key in the ignition but u drove that baby away.

 

Now there's a rally(pun intended). A word for pun please.

[sheherazade]

other than bun.

[Castro]

^

 

Pun = hal kilmad oo laba micno leh.

 

Bun = Roodhi. Ama dabo.

[-Serenity-]

guilt = qiiro?

[Castro]

^ That's it. We have a winner. Baryahan oo dhan waan qiiroonayay.

 

Thanks to all those who submitted answers.

Sxb are you serious, what kind of Somali is that?

[sheherazade]

I thought qiiro was regret.

[Castro]

^ It also means longing. As in:

 

Waxaan u qiiroonaya inaan Qaahira ku noqdo.

 

Or

 

Heblaayo ninkeegi ayaa London kaga maqanoo, qiiraa dishay.

 

P.S. I bet you Qiiro came from Ghiira (Arabic for jealousy). Anyone know?

^^Falxado, Qiiro = غيرة

 

And it is far from guilty يا Ùلحده

. So you're way off the mark on this!

 

Castro, oh that type of guilty. I don't know that one, man!

[Jacpher]

I thought qiiro has to do with emotion & excitement, not guilt. Both guilt and qiiro relate to a mental state of feeling but qiiro has to do with happiness not sadness.

 

I think the closes meaning of guilt would be Gef, Eed, & Khalad. Somalis are not FEELING PEOPLE so those words are absent from our gene & language.
