Grant,

Thanks! Hepatis B is also called "Cagaarshow" meaning the yellowing disease, since the body's pigment turns yellow, the urine turns yellow and the eye retina also turns yellow.

I am mostly interested in the other types of Hepatitis e.g. A & C.

Arabman,

Thanks for the links. The dictionary is very limited. If you know the names in Somali, feel free to throw them in.

Jazakallah Khairan!

1-Yellow fever- = qando jalle

4-Hepatitis A, B, C- = cudur beerka ka dhaca

7-Mumps- = qaamo-qashiir

8-Measles- = jadeeco

9-Polio-Dabeel = beside dabeesha waa cudur ku dhaca laf dhabarta

10-Rectum-? = malawad-walammad?



that's all I could do bro.....

[Koronto91]

Masha Allah Advo! Thanks a bunch. You did very good for a kid who left Somalia while still in diapers...

Regarding Rectum, my mother called it a Malawad and it sounded very alien to me, I almost broke out in laughter...

Koronto,

I have never seen the symptoms of Hep B, but I have seen A and it is the yellow color you describe for B. All I know is that B destroys liver function and C is almost always acquired by drug users sharing needles.

I was told that yellow eyes in Somalia was also an indicator for malaria. ???

[Advocatar]

lol, My spoken somali is pretty good contrary to what people assume, you are right though about malawad...to me it sounds too close to balwad.

I don't know. Malaria symptoms are mainly: fever, shivers, feeling cold, nausea and vomiting. It is also Africa's number #1 killing disease, followed by cholera. While in America, the #1 killing disease is non-infectious i.e. cancer followed by diabetes.

I have encountered all kinds of whack Somali over the years..I used to work for a refugee resettlement agency and met all kinds of people. The Bantus were always the funniest (nice people for the most part), but their Somali was interesting...
