[quote="hyperactive"]i don't want to sounf offonsive but what that Galedi?
i've never heard about it.[quote=]

Hyperactive no offense taken walaal. Most people really don't know any qabiils that aren't outside of Hawiye or Darood. I get a lot of you're Rahanweyn or Eelaay and I'm neither.

Geledi is a sub clan of Digil in Digil y Mirifle. They live up and down the Shabelle hoose. Afgooye is their city. Most Geledi people stayed in Somalia. They've haven't been involved in the civil war and thats probably why you don't know them.

Geledi is not Rahanweyn. Geledi is Digil. Rahanweyn = Mirifle

Shirib...do you find it hard understanding other somali dialect?

^^^^^^^^^^^^
No I actually speak maha-tiri. My maay is broken but I'm workin on it.

Yes my somali is very poor

Hyperactive

Its cool bro. Once a kid who thought he knew about qabiil asked me what I was. I said Geledi.

He was like Somali's are Hawiye or Darood which one are you. I told him neither. He was like then what are you I told him Digil y Mirifle and he said he never heard it before. Guess he really didn't know about qabiil.

Digil y Mirifle is the clans name. Rahanweyn and Mirifle are the same thing they are interchangeable.

For some reason people think that all Digil y Mirifle is Rahanweyn whe they aren't.

what you like you guys to be called?
just incase hadan hasosan wayo Galadi?

Remember Geladi.

If not then say Digil y Mirifle.

Shirib whats aff maha tiri?...

Maha tiri is the Somali that you speak. Well I do too but I'm maay, who's maha tiri is better.

Really ....can you teach me some maay?..oh what language do you speak at home may or maha tiri?

I speak maha-tiri my af-maay is broken.

When I was younger I didn't know the difference between maay and maha-tiri. I would use some maay words thinking every Somali knew it and people wouldn't understand me, because I didn't know it was different.

Its funny looking back now.

Mahad sanid shrib walal.
that was very informtive and intresting.
now i can go to my father and show off that i learned a new thing about somalis.lol
Good nigh walalayal, it's past 9 pm my time.
it's my bed time.
Gifted, wait until i come online tomorrow
we will learn together.lol
don't cheat or you will be in trouble with me.lol

shirib sxb i m always confused between Galadi & Bagadi,,maxay isku yihiin labadaasi qabiil..

We only know Hawiye,Darood, Isaaq and Dir but somalia has many other clans like Digil and Mirifle, carab saalax, carab yemeni, Bajuun,Bagadi, reer xamar+other banadiri people, jareer weyn,sadax geedi,yaxar,midgaan etc...so somalia clans can be over 20-50 ethnic people who are either speaks may or maxaa tiri or own dilect like bajuunis and brawe .......
