@liquidhydrogen good question did we have doors before the arabs came, i mean koonfur kept their word so i guess so, what do the old nomads call doors

Salaan is used in hargeisa and its close environs, more of a ladder then stairs though but it can be used interchangeably

How do you address stranger; Iska waran ? if someone said that to me out of the blue I would think, what a f-king weirdo. Asc Walaal or just walaal seems more appropriate to a stranger.

What I have noticed youth do alot, is call older women they don't know, Habiyar, I cringe every time, I always say eedo, once the woman called me habiyar and I replied back eedo, she got the message, she ain't my habiyar and eedo is just formal way reer mudug address older women.

Since when dis fandhaal become interchangeable with saqaf/gafeedh iyo findhicil?!

whats abooto? yooo my guess is koonfur but i guess ur specific region says abooto eh, iisheeg huuno whats ur region im curiuos

and you dont say gado u say qaando why the n

Abooto means Ayeeyo and is mainly used by people from Middle Shabelle.
Qaado/Qaando is one and the same.

How I address a stranger = if it's older man/woman = Adeer/eedo, if it's someone my age, aboowe/abaayo

[Vivacious]

They spell it the way the want because some of these words are not Somali in origin but bastardised words. So people spell it the way they pronounce it. Which is reasonable

War ileen balaayo

house = huuno
door = huuno
