i remember first time i heard word aboowe, i thought this somali girl was insulting me, i kept walking , and she keep running after me saying aboowe, do you know this street.
i noticed all she was asking me street name. then i saw it people writing in somalinet.
i hope this wont take it in wrong way: MJ and marehan i thought they were haweyah until i learned my cousins were marehan and they're not hawhyah.

To be honest, the average idoors never knew anything about Mjs and MR untill the war started.
they hardly didn't know haweeyes either as you guys are miles aprt from these guys. they were only aware of obviously ogadens who share borders with practically every somali group from Djabouti to the Dagodi's in western wajir and of course the dhulbahante and the warsengali who live with u as neighbours.
reeer galti ogadeens are hot headed and get easily offended..they are also very traditionalist..geel, gabay iyo dhaanto ba waalay I found reer waamo to be down to earth , outgoing and reer magaal..and sijuis wabaa kuwa nagu ilbaxsan laakin aff somaliga ba laga habaray

. Sujuis speak af somali, its just due to thousands of Kilometres and hundreds of years of distance from dagaxbuur, we diverge in accents but since i have lived in Garrisa, i can understand them. i find sujui af somali sexy. phrases like '' adi darada miya?'' looooool, and ''cadeeye'' instead of huuno ''wiilkayn miya'', ''Bilcaan'' ( women) ohh, i cant wait to get back to the NFD and just watch them talk in this sexiest of most somali accents, 
I always thought the exact opposite. I was born just before the civil war so the only thing I ever heard about Ogaden was from the civil war events like they sided with Caydiid and they killed Darood civilians in Kismaayo so I didn't know they were Darood. I thought Ogaden were so big they were a stand-alone clan, I didn't think they were part of another clan.i hope this wont take it in wrong way: MJ and marehan i thought they were haweyah until i learned my cousins were marehan and they're not hawhyah.
wallahi waan qoslay..ma reer NFD bad ahayd i thought you was from jubaland 
..anyhow waa iska kaftan, ogadeenka meeshey joogan ba wey is fahmi karan 
Queen, I am reer Jubbaland as I was born in Kismayo, I am 5th generation Jubbaland but my mum's father and my own father are galti pure breed reer qabridhare. they are the type who would whoop your arse if you conduct your self wrongly. but we transferred to Garrisa after the civil war. the colonies our ancestors created for us once upon a time. , my granfathers already purchased properties in Garrisa as early as the late 1950s there after they left qabridhare together. so when every other somali refugee was being arrested in nairobi camps, absame was chilling in NFD by then with big white marble houses and a mosque for every reer.Queen_Arawello wrote:Teeri

Practically Same way of describing how the word sujiu came about. you use Idoor kids, i use Ogaden kids. thats how everyone i know in kenya describes it. the history of idoors in kenya is facinating, but shorter than us anyways. we were enslaving sambura and turkana, boran and waboni in the NFD for 6 generations by the time the british went to war with Cabdalla, Cabudwaq and Cawlyahan over Samburu enslavement in the 1920s. Idoors came to kenya, tanzania, Uganda as soldiers in the british army from the 1920s. the average idoor i have met in kenya speaks pure english, even the 70 year old dudes prefer to talk in english. the average ogaden kid doesnt lose his culture and heritage as the area they live in is predominantly them and recognized as their owned domain and speaks pure somali but the fact stills remains when his uncle from dagaxbuur or jigjiga or wardeer visits him in the NFD, they just don't understand each other with out some heavy careful listen.kenyati wrote:Am afraid you my friend are misinformed..for starters every kid in Garissa has a good command of the Somali language--minus the crazy accent...so if the men from across the border(somalia)talked to the kids in a funny accent that they did not understand,..what do you think a kid who practically converses in Somali on a 24hr basis first response would be ? sijui? No! He'd probably say something in Somali along the lines "kuma fahmin" or something along those lines.. As for the origins of the word "sijui" from the root word "jua" meaning "to know" just reffered to the isaaq youth in Kenya who when asked..."war af somali mataqana" would reply "sijui" meaning i dont know af somali..same goes for Tanzania and Uganda.
