Re: Somalis and terms of endearment
My parents call each other by their first names only and sometimes ina adeer. My parents show their affection to each other by making fun of each other.
Re: Somalis and terms of endearment
My parents never ever called each other gay shit like "macaanto" iyo "macaan" just their first name.

When you get married right, would you let your wife call you baby and sweety in front of other ppl?Xamud. wrote:My parents never ever called each other gay shit like "macaanto" iyo "macaan" just their first name.
I would, but I'd tell her not to say that shit in front of my father and my two grandparents, they would think she's stupid.

Re: Somalis and terms of endearment
Lol this topic reminds me of a lot people I know. I personally can't stand when they go like macanto/Albi infront of me, lalabo. What i dont get is don't they really know that others feel embarrassed to be there..?

Re: Somalis and terms of endearment
I'll hear my Parents sometimes when they're talking be like 'walaale macaaneey' or something like that and even that suprises me. For the most part my mom will just be like "war maxamed"
