Question for the Somali Speakers

[Faranacab]

Good question I have no clue but I always wanted to know what this lineof poetry meant:

"Kabaal negi kobtii laygu dhalay keydka inankeyga"

I think it means..

Capital is deposited at my birth place, storage for my son.

^^Mashallah laakin this poetry is in old somali. There is nothing as good as old somali

[GeoDesic]

Ajal means Qadar, Afsoomaali "Xukun' "Go'aan" all from God.


So when they say "Ajashii Ilaahaa u timid" "Ama ajalkii Ilaaha u yimid" it means "Qadarkii Alle, Xukumkii Alle, Wakhtigii aa u yimid" It is used for Death often. When someone dies. But it has other meanings I mentioned too.


That is my understanding.

Awdal,

Every language is good for its native speakers. But then for us it's the Somali.

What is the meaning of kabaal, in english?

Farancab and geodisc, sir-lug Hyper and the others that commented, big thanks. I still haven't received the corresponding Somali word, but at least, I have a working idea of what it means

[Diyeeshaha_Tolka]

ajal ama ajasha,,

waxaa loo isticmaalaa marka qofka uu kasoo raysto xanuun halis ama uu ka badbaado car accident,,

qofkaasi ajashiisa ayaa wali dhamaan,,waqtigiisa ayaa wali dhamaan

TL, I thought you were after an English meaning!
