Inaan timo tidcan. .

[DisplacedDiraac]

I've always knew what this phrase meant (-timo tidcan-).. But I was recently made aware that single females back home *obviously before the civil war* would literally 'tidcan their timo' and not wear hijaab or gabarsaar out in public..

This was to make people aware *particularly men* that she was single.. But females had to cover their hair as soon as they got married.. And if a single female covered her hair, people would automatically assume wa la gaba.

Mala.. The civil war was a blessing in disguise..

Cajiib.Marka naagta timaha tidcan waxay aheed calaf raadis.I wonder what kinda of signal they use now.

[Daanyerow]

So my question is timahaaga ma tidcan yihiin or you wearing a qamaar? If you know what I mean?

You don't seem like someone who used to wear qamar but lost it (garoob) like many women here. WestLndnShawty seems well-mannered.

Salool: in Somalia, they wear Shaash now.


i thought timo tidcan is one of the indirect insult for gabdhaha xun.

Not at all.. Its used when refering to an unmarried female..

[Saraxnow]

Didnt know that. But what I knwo is that the unmarried girls would wear dresses that were tailor-made with a masar and the older women wore Dirac and shalmad instead. It was wrong if a young girl wore dirac but now every girl wears a dirac.

[Daanyerow]

What is shalmad?

[zingii]

The calaf raadis signal (timo daban), predated the not so long ago governments we had. It was reer baadiye thing and not that of reer
magaal.

ps, maxaa ula yaabi timo la dabay, miyaadan arag hablaha qaarka kore
ka qaawan ee garabka barkii iyo xabadka barkii banaanyahay?

they wore whats called (guntiino) which really didn't hide any of their ceeb.

now tell me which is worse:

1) naag qaarka kore kala bar ka qaawan
2) calaf doon timaha baneesatay oo dabatay

nothing wrong with that in every culture people show their young hood in some or other way, inan timo tidcan is just sign of a young and unmarried girl not only guur doon. and when she's hooked she will wear masar. Now in somalia everyone just dress the same way it will be hard to judge who is married and not
Gaalada xitaa kuwa aan single aheyn will wear rings, hindida that weird red dot
