Why is saying Huun demonized

Post by PanSomaliNationalist »

In some parts of Somalia? I don't see a problem saying it to like a relative or something but some people would knock their own brother out for saying huuno to them. Somalia are too cold :dead:

I don't think it's demonized that's my opinion, I think it's one of those expressions that is usually used with relatives or close friends and would sound weird if used on strangers. It also can have a patronizing vibe to it so maybe that's why people don't like it and prefer to use the word walaal instead.

Its a ducked up word specially if its used by none Huuno clans. It only should be used by clans that traditionally used it, some daarood like Absame and Geri Koombe, some isaaq like Jibriil Abokor and ba Gobo , gedabursi and ciise.

But a hj, hy , ciidagale and other isaaq and daarood using it in particular Hawiye is revolting.

Huuno sounds like 'honey' and one must only use it when talking to a woman. Otherwise, it sounds wrong.
