[Enlightened~Sista]

of saying Salaam Alaikum to ppl?And what if a woman initiates it..today i passed this street cleaner wuu iga hor imi he looked up and I glanced at him..I thought maybe I should say salaam but then I just walked the other way

[Enlightened~Sista]

Just want to add dadka usually waan Salaama, esp Somalis, I know some ppl who tell me ' Why do you bother with these ppl' members of my own family.

[LobsterUnit]

Say walahi,alie?

[Enlightened~Sista]

[LivingToSucceed]

.the more you say salam to Somalis, is the more you get respect from them. i only do it when i see them looking at me. .

Not really, if I want to acknowledge someone I don't know I just give them a polite smile.

For some reason I just ignore the Somalis I see on the street.

englightened,


according to the urban online dictionary:

1)For others to know you agree with their point 2)To emphasise your point...Also meaning Get Me! 3)To emphasise a question...Also meaning Init
1)Jack: That New Ting In Cinema Is Sik
Mark: Alie!

2)Alie Shes A Sket!

btw, there's too many Somalis nowadays.

BlackVelvet Islaamaha iyo Odayaasha xitaa ma salaantid?


Gaajo, I know there are too many Somalis, obviously qof kasta ma ha inaad salaantid, but the ones who are close enough e.g. bustops, waiting areas

Was the street cleaner MUSLIM? If no, then you cannot say "Salamun Aliakum".

My habit is despising Somalis no matter who they are, or what they do, or whatnot.

[Enlightened~Sista]

KOW, Soomali buu ahaa, but I say hello , how 're you to our bin men.

Pardon me, but I didn't understand your question.

If we happen to be looking at each other when we're walking past each other then why not. I wouldn't go up to someone I don't know and start talking to them just because they're Somali.

[Enlightened~Sista]

Yeah OK BV that's what I meant.

[Hyperactive]

i really dont say salam unless the person is fammiliar to me or i enter place and people sitting.
