True, we are a product of our environment and here is where parental responsibility comes in. Our people think other languages are superior to our language and I think this is wrong.


P.s. anigu af carabi iyo quraan maba kala saari kari.

I think your dad needs dhaqan celis saaxib. I propose you send him to Qalaafe. Xaajigu minyari ma leeyahay?

Maya, maya, Hyper nin yar baad tahay ee bal aan tallo ku siyo;
Markaay kibraan ayaa mid kale lala guursadaan.

I think there was a discussion which explored several alternatives; arabic, cismaaniya...

Siad Barre and his regime will be remembered for giving us the ability to write our own language

So hang on, how do you say cupboard/wardrobe and congratulations up north?

Qaanad and hambalyo.

The problem with the southerners is that they even misuse the italian words.

Khaanadu goormay noqotay kabadh

lol salool. i noticed that but i let it slide cause it was close enough. i smiled at "Qaanad" tho instead khaanah/khaanad. some somalies, mix kha and qa.
