Hearing voices???

[Keyse_0208]

Hearing voices???

i hear voices in my head.

that would be --- maxaygaan hadalo ka dhax maqlaa

[shaamboo]

keyse was the close very close i must say. but this lady wanted me to explain mingis to a doctor

[kambuli]

Shamboo,

No Keyse is neither close nor he right.

"Ciyayaa" does not mean screaming. Screaming means "qaylinayaa"..Ciyaya is a Somali word for the sounds made by the animals..Sida dameerka cidiisa..just like the English we have specific name for different animals although I don't know what each one is called..Like the dog is barking or the wolf is howling etc etc

When an old women asks you to translate for her, you should translate not word by word but by the context of what she is trying to tell you..In this case she was refering to hearing voices

"Eedow, dhinaacaasoo dhan iguma yaal"

"Lafaha oo dhan baa la i cajiimahayaa"

"Halkaa qoorta ah baa xaloo dhan belo igaga tumanaysay"

"Wadnahaa la i jiidayaa"

"Beerkoo dhan baa i dhex yaal"

"Qaarka dambe oo dhan anigu maba lihi"

"Feeraha dhexdoodaa waran igaga taaganyahay"

Shamboo,

You misunderstood me walaal..I was just trying to clarify things. That is all

[HELWAA]

"Feeraha dhexdoodaa waran igaga taaganyahay"

...walle i could't translate that to swedish when i followed this lady to the doctor...aakhirki waxaan iri baan oo maleenaya naqaska ayaa ku taagan And guess what i was right she had astma.

[Skippa]

what's this imaginary waran ee feedhahah kaga taagan? If I was translating this euphemism, waan ka sii waali laha dhakhtarka: "She says that the the holy lance of jesus christ is piercing her side" or "She's feeling sharp pains from jomo kenyatta's burning spear"
