Somali literature classes

[Advocatar]

I think somali classes exclusively for improving our limited vocabulary should be taught by our elders or someone capable from the community. Wallahi i would be one of the first ones to register, I would love to understand somali gabays, write my own gabay, etc.

why do you guys think?

[The-Screw]

shid foqol shid, war na dhaaf!

[Advocatar]

war ninyahow I am tired of pretending to understand countless poetry from dudes name mire, haraawe and hassans who lived in the 20's, shid I wanna laugh too, I wanna to fully understand those thought-provoking word-play too, mother-hell!!

[The-Screw]

runta iska sheeg atleast, you want to learn how to seduce a xalimo using lethal somali poetry, :}

[Shirib]

I agree Advocator, a Somali literature class would really be beneficial. I would sign up. I like shirib's but I don't understand them without someone explaining it to me.

p.s maay maay should be offered too

[Advocatar]

lol, I thought that came with the program.......btw I am already shaxaari when it comes to somali shukansi, waa genetical dee.


you dont have to come with a pick up line to start a convo, "naa ina xaaji farah, kaaley waan sheekeeysaneeynaa" is enough.


tell me that aint a killa...


shirib, go to youtube and type shirib and listen to that piece. brillaint.

[Shirib]

Advo, that shirib is really good. It is a Mudulood shirib.

[Voltage]

Shirib what is up with you and May May? lolz man I am pretty sure few people my age understand Somali as I do and may may might as well be chinese to me dude you are killing it wallahi kkkkkkkkkkkk


Advo, as shirib can tell I have thought about a somali language class in my school for somali youth

Your not maay so I'm sure you wouldn't understand it unless u grew up around it on the other hand I'm maay so I wanna learn it. I can understand it but my speech is mediocre.

My cousins in Somalia don't know 2 cents of maha tiri, they speak completely in maay.

[Voltage]

Shirib but there is a national speech and it is Somali, everybody has to learn Maha tiri just like everyone has to learn English, but ppl can take may may as electives

[King-of-Awdal]

Isnt May May just a different accent, i thought i would be able to understand it and they would understand me with me heavy Djboutian accent or am i missing something here.

[Shirib]

Maay is Somali, just a different dialect. Maha tiri is the more spoken dialect so it should be the one thought primarily, but maay should alsobe offerred, to those who wanna learn it.


I mean almost 30% of the country speaks maay as a primary language so it should be offered, and not completely neglected.

[Shirib]

Awdal

Maay maay is a different dialect. A lot of the words are different, then in maha tiri which is the dialect you speak

[King-of-Awdal]

So i speak maha tiri i dont even know what that means. So i wouldnt understand May May at all than i guess damn i never knew that. Is it like Anfari?

[Hiiraan boy]

king-of-awdal can u speak afsomali???

i think ur 1 of the soomalida ku so koray qurbaha who speak with broken afsomali
