If you go to hargeisa with a poor somali or even decent you will get humilated but if you speak it perfectly you will get called a Yaakhi - someone from djibouti. It's all because you don't speak with their accent i.e. aaryee, aar niyow

Re: Ive just bullied a guy who couldnt speak Somali
To be honest af somali is very hard to those who were not brought up back home. Even though I speak somali it's still not perfect and anyone who says they speak it without an accent is joking. My older sister speaks somali perfectly because she came here when she was 8/9 yrs old but when she went to Hargeisa she was laughed at and called a "Yaakhi"

or speak with your hands

Re: Ive just bullied a guy who couldnt speak Somali
Only time I feel bad about not knowing how to speak Somali, is when someone stops me for directions and they can't speak English. I really want to help them, they really want my help...but they can't understand me...I feel kinda useless then
Otherwise it's not really an issue.

Re: Ive just bullied a guy who couldnt speak Somali
I am not the most perfect speaker myself nevertheless, I’d be dead ashamed if I was 28 and not know how to properly construct a sentence in my mother tongue. Waxaas nacasnimada nooca ugu weyn bey ka mid tahey, particularly if you’re a male somehow in my opinion ragniimo ba yara ka maqan qof saas camal ah.
I am not sure if the same theory applies to the Hamza as well

Re: Ive just bullied a guy who couldnt speak Somali
WELL SAID
He is lucky to have English, the language of knowledge, as his first language, not that of warlords and things gloomy at which one can never find anything enlightening to read in, as the case with the Somali language, and to have grown up in Canada, a place in the modern world were dreams come true, not a doomed third world country that lacks the most basic things in life, not mention a black hole of war and violence; else he could have had worshipped tribal gods that actually never existed in reality but only in the confines of the deluded minds, as the one that the emblem in your avatar symbolises and declares— and he could have been now singing the antiphonies for clan warlords, as you probably are.
Somali is one of the most useless languages there is. I'm surprised that you assign such a value to it as criticising someone for not learning to speak it— which is itself an act of ignorance, of course. But let me ask you something, my dear unthinking friend; let us say he could speak a fluent Somali now— what possible benifits would that hold? Learning the culturally rich Mandarin Chinese, or Great the Spanish, or beautiful the French, or influential the Russian, or unmatched the German would one thinking logically be inclined to learn than a doomed language such as Somali. With French, one could meet Michel Eyquem de Montaigne and Voltaire down to Socrates; with Chinese, endless possibilities of unparalleled refinement of things cultural, from dining in Hundred Schools of Thought in a period of Spring and Autumn, to watching the Terracotta Army march through The Great Wall with horses glide and gallop through caverns measureless to mind; and with German, you can gaze at the symphonic rhythms in the inner minds of Mozart and Beethoven. But with Somali, what could one do with it given that one had learnt it? Turn the radio on and listen to Caawke go on and on about a gloomy bloodshed of stupid people killing each other for the sake of Qabiil gods and grotesque myths that the rest of the world long gone since moved away from? Go to Somalia, grab patches of green grass from the market, and then chew it like a starving goat for endless days while listening to Ahmed Mooge sing ''Taageer Allahayoow, arintaaydan kala taal, addaa toosin karayee,'' and feeling sorry for the life put use for failure? Think outside of the sphere. Even learning the language of the Pirahã tribe would prove more of a useful endeavour than Somali.
Never saw any executive job with essential of fluently somali speaking anyway there is no country called somalia for almost 20 years now

I struggle with Somali reading and on the other hand my speaking is just fine... Maybe I am dyslexic

He was speaking to me in afsomali and I said Siju foqal Siju and I think niyada ka jabiyey
Cause he said, why the fock am i trying when people like me put him down
Now I think he has given up on learning af Somali
Do U think I was right doing that and have U ever done that shiid before?
