Firaash and these things don't make me crack up about reer Waqooyi. Masquerading pidgin English as Somali like hudheel (hotel) and toweel (towel) make me crack up.

No color this time

Voltage I remember when you posted about how you cannot understand how reer waqooyi came up with their version of indian words like roti into rodhi, and then the other day I heard an Indian guy say he wanted some rodhi and I started laughing

dooro is the one that always makes me laugh . my ree wuqoyi adeer visited us in xamar. it was my first time of hearing reer wuqoyi accent.. whenever we say or talk about dooro he used to tell us naa uuuf xishood. i loved the word dooro to just make him mad
po sariir weyn neh?.

Can I get a ro-dhi please?

more like, "what wood you like some naan or rodhi

lol we say firash in my house, never knew it was a waqooyi term, I assumed "Jodhari" was their word.

joorari?? furash???



wtf never heard of both, we say Joodhari

see our gudhuu neighbours ......this is why we should be two separate countries.

we dont even speak the same language.

I understand and use all those words equally. More words and their translation:

Yaanyur = Bisad (cat)
Beed = Ukun (egg)

never heard of beed....

Sadeboi,

So how are reer waqooyis funny?

You mean joodari right? it means mattres. Firaash means the cover.

No it doesn't .. furaash/firaash means ..a mattress
and cover in Somali is .. Gal/Galka .. I believe ..
