I ask this cuz lots of Somali words that are no longer used on a daily basis are contained within compound words that we now assume to be single words:
War means news.soomaalidu badana waxay ka hadlaan war (dagaal ama colaad ).li ana luqada engriiska war li macna al xarb.soomaalidu waxay tidhahda beer (liver), protestantikguna waxay dhahaan beer (khamri noca jarmalka).beerku (alcohol) uma ficna beerka (liver).soomaalidu, madama ay ahayeen dad madow qofku wuxu isu bixiyey aniga.sabab:soomaali kasta sidu u xususta in yahow qof madow oo xor ah.afrika bambata, macalinkii hiphopka alifey, wu diiday kalmada nigga.soomaalidu luqado far badan iyo culjar (culture) bey falaasafad ku rebeen (philosophical ideas).example:af soomaali contains words of ancient arabic origin which are no longer used in colloquial arabic.baasto bin jeberti al berberawi.
