Niya
I brought this point up to a buddy of mine when I was looking through the Somali newspaper which had a shit load of Somali words and their translation, there were many different words for argue.
I told him look how many words there are for argue, we couldn't find a proper word for compromise, and dhexdhexaad doesn't count. :lol:

The fact that there are so many words for argue explains why we can't all just get along. :lol:

I agree with Samatr, I have seen many behaviors from Somalis whereby they are rude, loud, careless and so on. I asked my dad one time about a rude condescending comment made at the masjid by one of the wadaads, my father told me wuxuu sheegayo waa wax saxsan hase yeeshey hadalka kuluul oo caynkaas ah waa caada soomaali..and that is just the truth...it comes with the Somali language to be loud and to be blunt and somalis are visual people so they are a bit graphic with their words too :lol: :lol:

Lakiin what happened at the masjid waa ceeb naag weyn oo qooq iyo balaayo ka hadleysa...iyo kan alaabta naagaha tilmaamya...dad badan weey ka xishoonlahayeen walle...ee waa dad iska badow ah..

Tanaasul is a very common Somali word for compromise. Some might say it is "borrowed" from Arabic but so is ha;f the Somali language. Still, tanaasul is a very widely used Somali word for compromise.

People over have learned their lessons, so they write their questions down and only the appropriate ones are passed to the shikh.

that's what I was assuming, there is no real Somali word, the reason the word didn't exist is because there was no need for compromise people took what they wanted back in the day from looting camels to using horses to kidnap women and then marrying them by force. :lol:

There's not much wrong with that. It's true too

Try this: :mrgreen: We just finished praying Maqrib at a Somali musjid and while everyone was still sitting down and doing duco, this skinny odey with the biggest belly ever seen gets up and gets greated by this other guy with the words "al, war hebel ma uurbaad yeelatey?"

The odey shouts at the top of his voice "hooyada wase hadaan uur yeeshey madaa iwasey?"

My experience of somali muxaadaro; the sheikhs are mainly tribal shits and pathelogical liars. The attendees are usually losers.
Its fair to say that your experience of Somali muxaadaro is probably none exisiting.

Somalis goormaa decorum lagu ogaa? :lol:

Honestly, one of the things I like about most Somalis is they're daacad, to a fault. You never have to wonder what they're thinking cuz they'll always give it to u straight, no chaser...usually a bit more than u wanted or needed to know lol
