I firmly believe you can tell a lot from a society by looking at their language. Somalis are gender biased.

Even president, waa Madax weyno

Now a female president? Madax weyney

That is a bit better

So what's policewoman?

Policeman - askari
Policewoman - askarto?

[grandpakhalif]

Askariyeed

[SultanOrder]

BV the word askar is already feminine for the plural askarta singular askar, for female is askariyad

lol at nanees your confusing yourself buddy, nagta shariifta leh sounds like the lady who owns/has the female shariif. but if you want to say shariif in feminine it is shariifad

where is twist in this b?

[Twist]

^^ It's a man's world, at least in places like Somalia, so they have to adjust and live with it.

LOL @ naagta shariifta leh! Nanees never ceases to make me laugh!

[BlackVelvet]
