Speaking of intixaan and imtixaan

I will never forget a story that i was told by my brother.

He was makes fun of his friend (qaldaan) so the teacher saw the friend talking back to my brother and asked him if wanted to say it in english so everyone can understand.

the kid was mad and said" this guy is examination" ahhaha so intixaan is for reer kor imtixaan is for reer hoos

That's Kontarabaan, but I am guessing they are talking about something else?

Not even Somali words. I put it on google and not a single Somali site showed for both except this page.

Garaad , I doubt they would have a specific word for it.

Vol, closet is an American culture. Katabaan is different from closet. It's made from tall single light iron which has branches from top to bottom like tree, very common among Arab, and Somali houses.

Aisha, I was about to ask you to post a picture of katabaankiina... :lol:
