I remember growing up hearing on the news that this wanted female pimp was finally caught escaping authorities in Marka.

Isn't qajac qaniis the closest Xamari word to a pimp?

Not actually.

lol@ Aristo

You're right, back home pimps were mostly women. The biggest brothel in Kismayo was operated by an old lady named mama ceebla. Qajac khaniis means effimate men sxb, i.e. naago shaneeye.

Growing up, i've always known fataal as ninka raga iyo dumarka isu geeya.

xoogSADE,

For some strange reason I always thought qajac qaniis had 2 meanings: affeminate male and/or a pimp.

ya'll never heard of xaajiyo qamsiin??

xaajiyo qamsiin baabuur waaye.

lool@ xaajiyo qamsiin...thatz a car name in south...they named the car after her coz she was the first person 2 bring it 2 somalia



Pimp= Oday Shirwac ..me think so

gawaad is arabic word
in somali its caled Naago Gade

caydiid .. Pimping HU TU willing to give their life.

pimp = ruufiyaan

I think you might be right man .

The Somali word for pimp is not fataal/fataalad(for female). fataal means someone who tells information that was given to him in trust to others, (especially to people who are not meant to know). i.e. secrets. while he/she has nothing to gain from it. Basically it is qofka dadka u kala sheekeeya

The word 'dayuus' is the nearest equivalent to pimp. in Somali culture dayuusiin are rare but dayuusad/dayuusado (female pimp(s)) have got a near total monopoly on this profession.

its just my understanding 'ha iga qorin'

Sorry,Dayuus is nin aan ka qiiroon marka xaaskiisa faaxisho sameeyso.dayuus is the kind of guy who will tell others about the activities in his bedroom or let his wife wear indecent clothes in public.so far fataal or gawaad aa ugu macquulsan.

Adow, what made you think of this word?.
