Funny differences in Somali dialects

Post by Ka darag »

I know xashish as rubbish . Landers agree with me nw :clap: and certain ppl know xashish as weed. :lol: . This is the worst bit. Apparently, some Somalis call non muslim dead ppl 'bakhti.' wtf. How can you say say a dead person wuu bakhtiyey?I swear you say that bout animals. I say wuu dintay.. Muslim or not. Someone was telling me you can't say that. Weirdo :|

Actually bakhti is what we use to mean dirt, like proper real nasty filth e.g. a dead decaying dog so to say that about another human being is horrible
