I don't speak in waaqoyi accent so how I'm I supposed to tell you a sentence in a waaqoyi accent :arrow:

Some Somalilanders are easy to understand while the proper ones who spent more time in Somaliland or just came from there are harder to understand.

What you just wrote doesnt make sense because standard Somali used in radio, tv etc. is based on the Somali spoken in the northern and central (Nugaal) parts of the country, making it the most widespread dialect thus making it easier to understand than other dialects. I've never heard anyone from the south saying that they don't understand people from the north, maybe words but not the dialect itself.

If that was the case, they wouldn't reach out to all Somalis which is the ultimate goal of every Somali channel. The only way to reach out is to use the standard version, which is the most widespread and understood by all.

Past.

A- Wuxu yidhi = he said
B- Waxay tidhi = she said
C- Waxay yidhahdeen = they said

Present.

A- Wuxu odhanayaa = he is saying
B- Waxay odhanaysaa = she is saying
C- Waxay odhanayaan = they are saying

The South:

past

A- Wuxu dhahay
B- Waxay Dhahd'ay
C- Waxay dhaheen.

Presnt tense

A- Wuxu dhahayaa
B- Waxay dhahaysaa
C- Waxay dhahayaan???

Does Waxay Dhahayaan used?? in this last case most southerners switch to northern dialect and use " odhanayaan/oranayaan"
:mindblown:

lool begging the British to stay?/ and who told you that child , Idaajaa or Aw Jaama? or your aunt Hani. If you can't back what you are saying i suggest you not say them at all because it might embaress you. You are an MJ and any man who reads the account of the Brtisih on your people after war world 2 can easily make you eat your words.

1-Warriors: Life and Death Among the Somalis

2- tales from africa

those tow are enough and i don't want to embaress you so behave kid.

I told you if you can't back-up your shit and you hearded it in aunt Hani and Baydan mafrish don't spew it around you might get embaressed. Now if i were you i would not again commit such a blunder and only say what I have citation and notes for . In most colonial books the fantasy of a "warriro Daarood anti-colonial" doesn't exist. Most Daarood from clan chiefs to politicians such as Afweyn and Sharmaarke all were colonial cooks or foot soliders. Sharmaarke was a 'love connection" agent during the years the Brits ruled all of Somali regions , he is in both books , but he is your hero. The same can't be said about Igal , simple.
