I consider myself to be at an intermediate level. Way too many liars on this poll. I doubt the number of people who're proficient in Somali number above 5 on this website. I understand may language fully but can't speak it well. Heck I even understand bantu fully and it is a bit different.

I don't think they're all 100% correct, but this is what I think. I suspect the dude who said those (is he the one in the video?) is ex-ciyaal casiir. So many words borrowed from Arabic. Hope it helps.

^ you too walal. I can't tell about the naaneys names myself tbf, I wouldn't know if it's a noun with a meaning or a nickname, if that makes sense?
Also, I skipped some from earlier (i.e. taam, tacab, san, tiir, qaab), good that you added them.

lol @ telegraph, makes sense! "Taar u dira reer fulaan".
