Explaining Somali words/terms thread..

[Susu000]

Ok anyone know meaning of these words and in what contaxt they're appropriate to use.

Axdi- agreement- for example, axdigeena was to share the profit.
Wacdi- not exactly sure but something about reading the Quran I think, like digri maybe
Camal- personality.

Sahal, except for wacdi, you pretty much repeated what I wrote about "Axdi"

And "camal" is not only used as "like that- saas camal

"Camal" can also be used to describe someone's character,

Ex: Faarax camalkiisa ma fiican, wuu xanaaq badanyahay"

It can also be used to describe something as identical

Ex: Wow I like your phone, aniga kan camal aan soo iibsana "

Camal is NOT even Somali! !!!!!

[TheLoFather]

@Estranged don't listen to him, i would hate to see you turn out as depressing as some people here with their obsession with FDK aka my ''tuuloo'' is better than your ''tuulo'' .

I can link you some resources on Somali culture and language if you want.

It was tongue in cheek comment. Seriously, there is plethora of internet info. at your finger tips. Choose wisely. Knowledge is power.

MightyNomad na gar leh Jabuutawina gar leh!!.

but you both forgot to tell her that "mooge cadaab ma galo'..." and that ignorence is a Bliss!!......and what good will come out of knowing that your grandfather or great grandfather raided and pillaged his own cousins villages and used the camels and other booty he got from the raids to marry your grandmother or great grand mother and what ever that was left was stolen from him by colonisers and then was forced to pay the future of and the labour of his offsbrings as tax, tariffs and duty not to mention their Dignities to some foreign saan cadaalayaals ?

Deep. My ancestors were wadhaado, or so I'm told.

Who said that wadaadadu don't do raiding and pillaging villages? ?? Ever heard of the mad Mullah?

Yeah, but he was fighting off the British colonialists.

@ camalkiisa i guess its banadiri dialect from your mum side

there is big different between heshiis and balan(axdi)

I think camal as in character is a southern/Mogadishu accent.

Balan is a promise - as in - Balan waaye, waan imaana.

Heshiis, is agreement, waxeey ku heshiiyeen in eey dukaanka isla furtaan, laakin axdiga waxaa waaye in 2018 la furo. So axdi is a more formal version of heshiis.(contract kind of)

P.s- heshiis can also be the end of two people who are enemies- Hebel iyo Hebel col ayee ahaayeen, laakin weey heshiiyeen.

To sum it up- both words camal and axdi, can be used in different contexts..

I never said they have same meaning, please try and process what you are reading whilst reading.. I have been quite consistent in saying that it all depends on context.

Now full stop.
