Macaaney, gacalyso, xabibti, xayati, malabay, quruuxey...etc

Do you use them? I know every relationship is dependant on people's needs and preferences, but if you don't use terms of endearment, I suggest that you start.

One can get use to being sweetened up, and you can't go wrong. :kiss:

:| I know Somali guys like to think raganiimo doesn't include being sweet to eachother, but I can guarantee you both will be happier when you can get her to blush and giggle from something so simple. :oops: And she will usually be more than happy to return the affection.

Just a friendly tip from your neighbourhood love activist, LoveAlways.

Are there other terms that you use? I just learned 'qalbiiyow' the other day lol

"Nuurkeygiyow, dhaayaahagiyow, Macaan badanoow, Noloshaydiyow iyo gacalka" :lol:

I wouldn't say those words lakin I've heard it from my neighbours, it sounds hella cheesy though :P

The only time you will ever catch me using such awkward terms is when I want to get Some...

You use walaal on your wife?... :? I'll never understand that. Like saying inadeer to a girl you like. I know back in the days, couples were litterally inadeers (and some cases they still are :lol: but damn. Why? Pretend? If you call me inadeer, you are instantly placed in that category and everything between us is just walaaltinimo)

Babe works...but there is a certain sweetness I associate with Somali words being used.


hahaha Bella, those are sweet! It sounds corny, but between two people who are being corny together, it's hella sweet. I get butterflies n errtang. Whatever I was upset about disappears.

Jalaal, can you say coucou to a girl you like?


HalfSomali, If you want to talk to trash, go ahead and say that. But don't refer to Somali sisters as such.

I've actually seen a riwaayadh where a guy was being playful and called a girl shukulaatiini. It's cute, but it definitely had to do with his fob-factor and it wasn't so weird loll. Meh... Somethings work for some couples. :)

*Slaps his bitch on her butt-cheeks* Give me something to eat, bitch; I am hungry. And also get yourself ready coz I am "thirsty" too. ;) << Works better than any endearment terms all the time.
