And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers."
Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.
And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have ...

There's no proof of saxiib, faras, farax, roti, kuul and so on not being somali. All you somali self-hating folk need to get into uni and learn a thing or too. These words are somali as far as academia is concerned.

Somalis. Always demeaning themselves.

And then they say "we're muslim". Inshallah he'll get what he deserves. Diseased man are on this earth. You ladies better watch out!

100% no loan words? I'm speaking of the words taking since the 1900~ (italian/english). Somali has enough vocab to cover many things however the language is no longer formally taught. For instance, we have our own calender yet use arabic days of the week? It's these type of errors I'm trying to ...

Malooli = a casterate ram
Dhufaan = a castrated camel
Asmo = a spell casted on weapons before a war.
Awlax = long spear
Hooto = short spear
Ashqaraar = bewilderment


I can go on and on. But what is purpose of listing extinct Somali. Now when I listen or read Somali news I almost puke in my ...

Lol^ iran is 100 horses??
Any somali word that is out of use today or not so popular would be great to learn. It's annoying how we're begining to use arabic/english/italian loan words instead of our own. I'm not a nationalist but hate seeing languages or cultures go extinct by lazy folk.
So' and ...

Life short but the next is eternal. Don't mess around for the sake of it. If you don't like the idea of her eyeballing other men don't go looking for other woman, unless she's into the whole part-time husband thing.

English does develop words and has borrowed plenty, i'd 70% truthfully, i'm suggesting we opt out of the foreign words an switch gears to the native ones when possible. Many borrowed words are through colonization so we can start there.
Jalo becomes huruud, buluug could be ciryid/cirid, see what i ...

Bruh, i need advice not jokes. Do you know any somalis happily married or diaspoora's who've done it successfully?

Anyone wanna share? If you got them share 'em. I've heard of ori for wife, so' for meat and this saying " So' iyo sar toona ma laha" meaning it has neither meat or hide.

How it's possible somalinet members are too lazy to help answer questions about somalia but are quick to talk about drama.
Started several boards on somali language, etymology, history with nothing but qalyo from these folk.
Help a brother out man! Trying to help somalia you know what i mean?

Sick of theses italian, arabic, english words we included into our language. Le'ts find the true somali word for all of these words.
Inshallah we can regain our language before it dies out.

Buuga
buluug (can't it be ciryid?)
Subax
Shukuman
Naf (should be rubad/rubud right?)
kursi
waqti (should be ...

Off the top of my head Korean:
- One of the words to refer yourself is naega, (nee-ga) and in somali its aniga, although niga in korean means you.
- Get out is naga, in somali it's neega bax (although ga is leave in korean and bax is in somali)
- Head/hair is moeri (slight "r") and somali is mallax ...

PS, i love how you men jump onto the whole "women and men are so different" argument to justify your atrocities.
Leave the sisters for those who will give time to respect them as a true muslim man should.
Ya'll clearly haven't studied the deen and know little to nada of what allah expects from you ...
