Shes quite liberal in comparison with the rest of the family.last week she dropped a bombshell.she wants to get engaged to a semi practising (rastafarianism)white fellow with quarter madow background. Everybody expects me to talk her out of it but why should I? Isnt it her life? Advice. please.this issue is giving me a bad headache.she has 2 sisters no brother.baasto rufus jackson.

And this place just gets weirder and weirder.

Well the only redeeming thing about this whole thing is, you'd now be able to score some GEEDO.

just shout in her ear NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO till she goes deaf. Then the Rasta will run off coz living with disability ain't that xaax no more.

insane story thread on queue i should get lacaag for dis shit

Wouldn't there be a breakdown in communication? Rasta's don't really speak English.

Offtopic but Engagement ma wax jiraa horta..anigu waxaan ku ogaa isfahan iyo haasaawe kadib muqaabalo kadib nikaax wabacdeen istiraaxa

Let the I live

Greater emphasis on the communication barrier. Culturally speaking they idol worship to Haile Selassie "King of Kings". Anyone that pays homage or consorts with one that does should be charged with treason and forced to read 100s of books on Somali culture and history as torture.

waa inaabtigeen nigarowgu dee walal, mararka qaar waa layska ogolaadaa the advances of Tyrone ibn Rasta

These types of topics should be off limits to guys. Let the women (Julkimi comes to mind ) waste their time with this type of conversation. Why would you talk about a family member this way? Am I that much out of touch with today's generation, though I was born in the mid-90s? This reinforces my belief that I wasted Summer 2014, but Summer 2015 watch out!

This is,

T-Minus 11 Days.

Surprisingly no. I know a Somali female who is married to this mexican guy. They've both not been here for more than 5 months. Neither of them speak English. To this day, I wonder how they communicate.

^physical communication is good enough. feed, fcuk and sleep

I thought my grasp of af Somali from every region was airtight but with that last part I'm stumped

I'm not sure if we have official engagements in the Somali culture as is in this part of the world(getting down on one knee, the ring, she said yes)..but we have our version of prelude to marriage such as "soo doon", albeit it's an exchange of promise to marry between parents of the prospective bride and groom, nonetheless a normative practice is in place to accommodate all things "engagement"
