Thanks greenday, much appreciated

Could you use those two words in sentences and also provide a brief explanation/description (in Soomaali or english) of what exactly xid means in Soomaali and in what context you would use that word. Thanks.

[samatar133]

capacity= baaxad
regret= qoomamo
panpering= have no clue

The capacity of stadium Muqadisho is 20,000 people --Stadium Muqadisho xidkiisa waa 20,000 ruux or hadii eey manta ciyaarta 20,0000 qof kabad ee imaadan stadiumka wee xid dhafayaa

I told you would regret what you are doing --Waa kusheegay inaad ka shaleyneeysid waxaad sameyneysid.

^ Thanks Samatar. Can everyone clarify which capacity they are talking about:

ca·pac·i·ty
1. The ability to receive, hold, or absorb.
2. The maximum amount that can be contained: a trunk filled to capacity.
3. Ability to perform or produce/the power to learn or retain knowledge; capability; ability; potential.
4. The maximum or optimum amount that can be produced: factories operating below capacity.
5. The quality of being suitable for or receptive to specified treatment: the capacity of elastic to be stretched.
6. The position in which one functions; role: in your capacity as sales manager.
7. Legal qualification or authority: the capacity to make an arrest.

You can use xid in most of these things- Anonymous xidkiisa ma yaqanoo marko, sidaaso marko inyar cabo meqaaan unoqdaa

The Somali word you both have used for regret are new to me (ive never heard of them) and it may be so that there are regional variations.

Personally I use "ciilkaambi" as regret. i.e. waxaas waan isku ciilkaambiyaa ... or waan ciilkaambiyaa waxaas ... hoy hadhoo baad isku ciilkaambiyi etc.

I do know the Somali word for Pampering but I want to see what others call it is first.

[greenday]

Is pampering raaxo/turuko? And as most people will tell you its shalaay for regret.

The capacity of stadium Muqadisho is 20,000 people --Stadium Muqadisho xidkiisa waa 20,000 ruux or hadii eey manta ciyaarta 20,0000 qof kabad ee imaadan stadiumka wee xid dhafayaa

I told you would regret what you are doing --Waa kusheegay inaad ka shaleyneeysid waxaad sameyneysid.

i think you mean xad not xid and xad means Limit in english not Capacity. So it would be quite incorrect to say the limit of a stadium is so and so when you intend to decribe capacity. about Shalaay it is synonymous to Qoomamo, laakiin reer koonfeedka ayaa inta badan adeegsada.

Interstingly, Xid sounds like Xad/Xad-dhaafis to me and I would personally use different words in some of those instances

Xad is more like limit but it still makes sense where you have used it in a sentence.

I would say e.g. baaldigu wuu xad-dhaafay or greenday Samatar133 way ku xad-dhaaftay.

I would also use "Qaad or Qaadis" as capacity in some instances e.g. gaadhigaasi wuxuu qaada 5 qof/ruux.

Is pampering raaxo/turuko? And as most people will tell you its shalaay for regret.

No raaxo is something different ... more along the lines of relaxing, comfort[able]. I have not heard of turuko though.

Capacity = Mug
Regret = Qoonsi
Pampe = Spoil Garee

[samatar133]

haa Ciil_kaami waa la macno shalaay iyo qoomamo laakiin waxa la adeegsadaa ciil_kaambni marka qor rabo inuu qeexo xaalad uu aminsanyahay inuu wax badan ka badali kari lahaa hadii fursad labaad la siiyo. difference is bit tricky.

[anonymousfaarax]

Capacity = Mug
Regret = Qoonsi

So far we have 4 different words for regret. Can everyone use their word for regret in a sentence.

I have heard of mug before seemeeyer but its appropraite uses are limited to weel/pots nooh ?
