Nabeela, walaahi they do. This is very common in southern part of somalia. Normally, this happens when the man has multiple wives! It kinds of creates competition.Nabeela wrote:Union,

I don't think so. Like I said I wear it for me occasionally.

Re: Somalis and airports
Abuucumar aa? This actually is the worst thing that has happened to somalis. They wear it even during the summer. All over europe you see grandmothers wearing it.accident wrote:Wearing abucumar defeats the purpose of wearing a macawis. You either go naked and drafty wearing a macawis or you wear normal clothing.Nabeela wrote:Accident, how can you be Somali and not wear macawiis?![]()
Just wear abucumar underneath and you'd be fine lol
Lamagoodle. Rageedii.
Macawis,
Koofiyo Baraawe,
Go shaal,
Kabo buut ah
Tusbax (afartan xabbo)
Usha Saalimow (only ciyaal xaafada know) or the reer baadiyo hangool
That is the dress code of the urbanite somali

Lamagoodle. It sounds very comfortable wearing it but when you are not used to it, it is another story.

Re: Somalis and airports
If you want know how Somalis dress when they're flying just travel through Dubai & you'll see funny stuff.
Back in the millennium I was going to Iraq and I had to, of course, go through Dubai, then Qatar and then Syria & catch a bus from there to Iraq. I stayed 2 days in Dubai international airport ('cause didn't have a visa to go outside of the airport, just a transit) & when I got to Syria again I didn't have a visa to Syria because I was told I didn't want one since I was gonna go through & going to Iraq. Again I returned to Dubai & caught a boat from there to Basra, Iraq. Those days in Dubai airport I saw a lot of funny, interesting things about Somalis flying.

No man, that's how you roll in Africa. I sit in cafes, tusbax on my hand, Ipad on my table and will troll on Snet.accident wrote:TheblueNwhite wrote:LG - I don't like wearing macawis in qurbaha, only when I go to Africa I will wear it with fooshari, koofi baraawe, bakoor and shool.![]()
You have to be atleast 60 to dress like that.

It doesn't belong to my dad, we have some extra laying around the house

As using my husband's, I think I'm gonna pass, it reeks of awkwardness.

Abuu cumarka waa nigis/kastuumo dheer to fend off the cold. But, apparently somalis wear it all year round.1nemansquad wrote:war horta waa maxey abu cumarka lasheego? it was just recently that i found what bacweyne was
In the warm countries you wore it instead of jeans/trousers.
Twist, Dubai waa meel yaab leh; Naago soomaaliyeed baan arkeeysaa oo dahab iska soo badiyey; barfuun iyo cadar isku soo buufiyey (A friend of mine was taken to hospital because he was allergic to some perfumes when I introduced him to some somali women) and worst of all naagihi oo dhan wejigoodu wuu cadyahay, laakin gacmahooda iyo lugahooda waa madow.

Re: Somalis and airports
Nabs, you will be surprised how many times I saw women using their husbands' macawiis as garbasaar back home because "they were walac" & wanted his scent from the macawiis.
