The word "badbaade" waa dambi, no one deserve to take credit for one's life being spared, instead we glorify the Creater, so the word "survivor" is blasphemy....

It only works in Somali when you put it in context
Wuu ka badbaadey (He survived)
Wey ka badbaadey (She survived)
Wixii wuu/wey badbaadey (It survived)
