Stoke = Faalig

Grain = Just give them example e.g. qamandi, sareen, hadhuudh etc. and they will know what you mean.

Vegetable = qudrad ... again examples to show what you mean.

Depression = Niyad xumo - explaining and describing what you mean will help.

Depression = wuu isla hadlay
Depression = wuu soo wataa
Depression = wuu isku buuqay


Stroke = wadnaha dhag dhag dhag (qorexeey would say) but just say wadno xanuun.

We are talking about depression not outright waali otherwise you can say 'mobil ayuu sitaa'

Stoke has nothing to do with the heart

Today I've realized SNET can really b so useful..The ev ent went extremely smooth..I really performed beyond my expectation that parents were having fun and I laughed along with them..they were just cute..and walaahi I feel like this lecture was needed..hopefully itl be something that helps them.

btw, dammm there was this cute young mother....Had my eyes on her all night...after the even finished I had to ask her if she was "singal matta'....Eventually I found out she was married...But...she was looking nice....all around.....oh well
